we are in this mess together

digital collage by A.B. Godfreed

We are all in
this mess together
this mass psychosis
this part of the problem
normosis
a psychotic desperation
to look normal
follow the herd
conform in
anxiety
dread
inability to function w/o facades
all in, or out, for self
destruction
such life-sucking social order.

Poof-Pow, be gone
w/ endless days of no shows
of understanding
compassion fail
righteousness alerts
while we weigh in
on each other’s breakdowns
virtue signals in overdrive,
but can we be better being
bereft of leadership
(the “servant” kind)
drowning in flocks of fanatic followers
many a Pied Piper pontificating
on nothing but a series of memories
(dead things)
on top of made-up memories
(deader things still)
overlaid by even more dolled up delusions
of who’s right
in this thick of truth thievery
& tomfoolery.
