Hazard signs aplenty, blaring sirens, red lights crazily blink
Unprecedented! alarming! dangerous! buzzwords for Rodin's great 'Thinker'
Multitudes numbed, by denial, distraction, daily drudgery
Misguided leaders glibly tout past and future, worldly glory
The oppressed, somnolent and carefree, buy fabricated stories
Society, upended by obscene, wildly disparate income brackets
Bare pantries of the work-a-day, homeless scavenge garbage buckets
Still, trillion-dollar budgets, fund savage, unending, war rackets
Ascendant
oligarchic-dictatorship, steering ships of state
Flailing democracy, teetering on autocracy's soiled, slippery, slate
The duo's horns, locked in a macabre, ugly dance of death
Individual rights of the demos, gasping for air, with every laboured breath
Mother Earth-Gaia-Bundu, sacked, hacked, a mausoleum for manmade gunk
On life support, her precious, fertile, womb shredded, rendered, junk
Earth aborts future life, poisoned air chokes, sullied oceans wail
