life is simply a tv show
existence is entertainment
where power swallows the poor
where idiots run the country
where the smart ones doubt themselves
we call it democracy
but it turned into an idiocracy
like the movie
but for real
and without the humour
because autocrats don’t laugh
and quite soon
the rest of us won’t laugh either
all human imagination has already been
on the silver screen
watch the movies
watch the shows
listen to the clown in the white house
you want to laugh and cry at the same time
but when you realize
that he’d been serious all the time
you won’t laugh any more
except for
you already experienced this
for four years
and you still think
that’s a good show
that it needs a second season
well then
keep your low standards
but don’t throw earth under the bus.
