Weren’t we sadly gamed
as well as framed?
Thus cannot be blamed
or feel ashamed!
Does it now bemuse
how we enthuse
over such abstruse
feeble excuse?
and if we admit aware
of what action might we dare?
Hjälp oss klättra ner från fantasi
från dess höga nedlåtande näste
utan empati, i hyckleri
så att få stå med jordiskt fotfäste
För nu i släktets senvinter
finns ju ingen tid att försaka
det duger ej att vi slinter
i sviklig fantasi tillbaka
Bättre att på verkligheten sej förlita
än att förföras i fantasin på krita

ta på krita = köpa på kredit
Passengers must expect to hear this:
“This is your captain speaking, we should be ready to take off soon. I’ve no flight training but, like JD Vance, I was a ‘high flyer’ in the financial industry and thus hope to get the plane off the runway and over any high buildings or mountains we may encounter ahead!”
These days no need for know-how
but how to display loyalty
be able to scrape & bow
at feet of the Trump royalty
Deep in abasement abysmal
watch how we gush & rally
in cowardly pursuit dismal
racing up a blind alley
With stampeding changes cataclysmal
we must prepare for shocks aneurismal
Human Species soon washed-up
by crashing climate or nuke drones
Gotten afraid to look up?
Then just bend down on our smart phones!
By our smartphone’s exaction
stuck in denial we believe
that through its crisp distraction
we’ll somehow receive a reprieve
Ain’t no mere catastrophizing
we should be deeply alarmed
Still we’re on-screen socializing
already horridly harmed
The disaster lead-up found circuitous
to those of us ill-informed, fatuitous
+)
-circuitous = marked by obliqueness or indirection in speech or conduct; deviating from a straight course
-fatuitous = complacently stupid; foolish
Är den för tunn min hud
så oro hålls mej fängslig
Nu hjälp mej, Store Gud
blir jag alltför lätt ängslig?
En fånge bak ängslans galler
hjälp mej med att försvara
gentemot allt ändlöst skvaller
Lär mej hur att förfara!
Låt var å en leva lugnare liv
ett som ej för med sej sånt tjat å kiv
Uninformed willfully
in distraction addle-brained
while striving skillfully
to always stay entertained
Letting Kakistocracy
by Toddler Tantrum Trump
in fascist autocracy
play most of us for chump
Should have been easily foreseen
that a sick megalomaniac
president crude, carotene
would incessantly go on attack
while we’re allowing him to hold us in thrall
riveted by obscene lies & widescreen brawl
+)
kakistocracy = government run by the worst & vile, least qualified & most unscrupulous citizens (from Greek kakistos: worst)
För lättvindigt för oss alla
att till feb lögn hemfalla
o självförsvar snabbt åkalla
de ska oss överfalla
var stackars liten fluga
lättviktig, avskydd, spröd
men får väl lov att duga
att få krossas snabbt död
Fast ‘sista flugan’ menas ‘populärt’
en farlig ful insekt man tvingas fälla
betraktas som orubbligt doktrinärt
att ideligen svänga vår flugsmälla
Fastän var överdrivet hot
syns ringa spår av syndabot

Devoid of voluntary restraint
we’re yearning for up next cool stuff
but every ‘event’ too soon fades faint
what we taste shall not prove enough
We shall never feel arrived
chasing down pursuits contrived
There was this most well behaved fellow
handsome, most engaging & mellow
much loved waiter while student
considerate & prudent
Wouldn’t dream about driving through yellow
On wrong course strayed
when ship’s rudder jammed
sails torn & frayed
turned a voyage damned
A hydrophobic seafarer
on mighty waves of ‘yeah buts’
His maneuvering in error
thus drifted aground, the klutz
Ran out of seas, washed ashore
Met his life saving wife
opened a bicycle store
got on with dry land life
That’s by now some fifty years ago
who could have dreamed what Life would bestow?
