All will be well
All will be well
A landscape clad in cement and tarmac
steel and glass fortresses dominate our vision
Contamination erodes natural order and beauty
we wear masks to breathe and goggles to see
A barren world, an open prison
to escape is, to where and a fruitless errand
Cemeteries are fulll of the forgotten poor
as soldiers of greed march on to glory
Morality and values lie in the gutter
to be washed away by toxic detergents
Clinics dispense drugs to alleviate daily trauma
alcohol and tobacco are nil by mouth
Music serves no purpose, it is abolished
dance on a prohibited list
Poetry and literature, now subversive trash
Cameras scan every inch of mortal life
as conformity and obedience are paramount
Longevity has exceeded all expectations
sex encouraged, deviants held in high regard
as a new art form
Religious adherents awarded the death penalty
This is utopia our ultimate destination
the Shangri la so long awaited
More sloth and less ideas
and we will soon be there
The past is forgotten as it was decadent
we are now advanced, pristine and beautiful
Step inside the new high speed lift
be propelled at great velocity
Have an orgasm on the way
or a bowl of raspberry ripple ice cream
Government is no more - the new Computer
rules for us, so stay glued to the screen
It is programmed for prejudice
and keyed to control all
Concentration Camps and Education Centres
for free thinkers and original thought - an ancient concept
Pornography on the new school curriculum
as children are taught new techniques of masturbation
The future is bright
stick around and enjoy

Loved it Keith.
"Cemeteries are full of the forgotten poor as soldiers of greed march on to glory"
Strong stuff.
Thank you ?
Mae
(And thank you for teaching me the habit of saying "Thank you" to every poet for his poetry. I got it from you ?)
