The Casual Casualty

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
