It stabbed me with a steely eye
It killed me with a truthful lie
It ate my heart with a blue lit screen
It scorched my soul with a silver sheen
The insolent outsider – the New Cool
b
Guy and gal are the fashion
With a doleful dude bringing up the rear
Ma’am and Sir are now passion
Of tiny granny at whom we sneer
B
Bikini and burqa are on the same page
In the dictionary
But the former is sought, and the latter is shot
Says the itinerary
See what has become of me?
B
Professors and priests emanate imperial shame
But the gold cuff links of famous what’s his name
Preach popular practicality
See how they wallow in infidelity?
B
Those who write are lost they say
Twitter and TikTok and Instagram technology
Those who thought – Resurrect! I pray.
Bring back morality, the conscientious philosophy
To the New Cool
B
A scientific civilization with no civility
Is a people with no flame, no dexterity
GTG BFF, so quick is society
That you fail to see
What you made of me
The Casual Casualty
