The New Gods of Mount Olympus
Listen! Malnourished
Miscreants and ruffians
The losers shedding skins
Like unwanted pathogens
Carrion grifters,
Diets of controversy
Gods are bred like flies in muck
Excremental celestials
Now god and men alike
The pornography of vices
Demigods of unwanted pregnancy
Avert infidelity!
Corpulent desiccations
Misread for statues
Hold aloft card hewn houses
To topple and break
Irresilient bones
Martyrs of convenient
Alternative truths
Inconsequential oaths
And proud young men
Cosplay fit for brown shirts
LARPing Sturmabteilung
Its written on a napkin
Coffee stained declarations
Parodies of insidious parades
In the footnotes of insurrection
They, they’re burning all the books
They’re burning all the books
They’re burning all the books
Look upon this theatre of tragedies!
A pantomime of red faced ignominy!
Self reflection and compassion falling victim to
Terrific display of sleight of hand!
They’ve got no where to go
They’ve got no where to go
With this fucking horror show!
Look upon this theatre of tragedies
A pantomime of red faced ignominy
Self reflection and compassion falling victim to
This terrific display of sleight of hand!
Past excesses trodden
Into the heels of the never learned
Their heroes line the caskets
Canopic jars of sycophants
Bury the cultists with the king
Extinguish the torches held herein
The tomb erased from records
So we know not what lies within
Bury the cultists with the king
The age old tradition
Let he who wears the crown
Bear the burden of his sins
Bury the king! Bury the king!
Weak humans with delusions of godhood, whose cunning spreads like a virus into the hearts of those they have been systematically starved of information. The lie is repeated until it becomes truth to those who fall for it. Our technology, algorithms and AI bots programmed to persuade or dissuade us, insidious misuse to control trends, zeitgeists and cultural norms. We are being herded, a lie that feeds from and propagates the same cruel, insidious evils of racism, homophobia, transphobia, sexism, ableism - they will blame the least likely, the innocent and the powerless, a carefully manicured scapegoat, rolled out time and time again. You really think the most marginalised and oppressed have any power? Watch the milk toast men parade like brown shirts, proud of their hateful, ignorant rhetoric. We learn nothing from history, we are doomed to repeat. It is a lie that only serves the greedy and powerful.
