Det genljuder i trägårns stillhet
i ögonblickets ljuva skörhet
Där ekar var stjälks knäpp i stuns
och från äpplets fall suset
Följd av, vad höres högljudd, duns
i stillheten runt huset
Äpplen när mogna håller ej på å flörta
nej, omgående mot marken de sej störta

Efter natten flyr
vresig, burdus
och morgonen gryr
mens i bakrus:
backade ut från garaget
mens följde med på chatten
bakhjulen for i buskaget
backade över katten
Borde kollat ens backspegel
en djurvänlig trafikregel!

chatt(en) = diskussionsgrupp på nätet

BACK THEN those who resisted & bravely persisted:
For a ‘just vision’
they lost their jobs
landed in prison
beaten by mobs
Cruelly confined
gruesomely grilled
majorly maligned
some even killed
Still courageous & strong
stood against what was wrong
*
WHILE NOW in these splendid times:
Such actions quaint
would involve restraint
might make us faint
so favor complaint
Habitat we extirpate
while keep slapping high-five
from duties we abdicate
while Species takes nosedive!
What?! Slowing global warming
through ‘personal’ action?
Few, despite plenty warning
seem adjust one fraction
In these thrilling times ‘morality’
suffers high rate of mortality

Att få ‘uppleva’
i stund så spröd
att sluta leva
tills straxt bli död!
Å med hopp i halsgropen
om Efterliv man dör
vem vore inte snopen
om allt man gör är … dör?
För om Livet Efter Detta
kan man bara staka sej
Tankar härom inte lätta
så varför grubbla, okej?

The clueless White House ambit
emanates from Empire’s
odoriferous armpit:
Absurd acts of ‘high wire’
This (must we not suppose) is:
National psychosis
with full free fall prognosis
by brashest hypnosis
Trump aggrandizes
fantasizes
He tantalizes
scandalizes
Done with can’t-help-himself flair
brazen cruelty laid bare

-hypnosis = an artificially induced trance state resembling sleep, characterized by heightened susceptibility to suggestion; here by: long term relentless advertisement & propaganda
-psychosis = any severe mental disorder in which contact with reality is lost or highly distorted

After having captured Government
Big Business criminogenic
in stealthy coup of empowerment
ethics withered cryogenic
Erstwhile Earnest Citizen
turned Craven Consumer
Now Fantasy’s Denizen
selfish in ill humor
So now we’ve been trumped
back to Poor Serfs bumped
+)
-serf = here: a person doing undignified work at a callous corporation paid far less than his or her contribution to productivity

Are we rushing headlong
hearing no birdsong
all unmindful days long
our til sounds swan song?
Entitled like baby boomer?
Whining like left waiting dog?
Indignant like gypped consumer?
Fawning like corporate cog?
I’d rather live calmly & cheerful
than elbowing airily sneerful!

To logic & hard facts
we’re recalcitrant
as they may hinder acts
when we gallivant
We prefer pliable ‘facts’
which can enable our acts
Civil or in brawl
each of us the victim
Watch us whine & bawl
expressing our dictum:
Between ‘wants’ & ‘needs’ little daylight
of that we lack contrition, all right?

We ‘commune’ by bumper stickers
and by thought-ending cliches
Feebly democracy flickers
in such debased a malaise
Ever sillier, who’d thought?
Uninformed we get out of sync
society’s bonds worn fraught
Civil discourse pours down the sink
Now in anomie mired
entertained on apps agile
With fantasy conspired
reality’s grip fragile
A cowardly way to go
when we’re wishing not to know
+)
anomie = lack of moral standards in a society

I just don’t like to stoop down
to place my dog’s fresh poop
(risking stains on hands or gown)
into a bag by scoop!
So I let it lie where left ad hoc
malodorous, right on the sidewalk
But my neighbors got it handled
as dog poop sticks bit like glue
When they get home (here I’m candid)
they just scrape it off their shoe
I allow my neighbors
to do me kind favors!
