Pouring gasoline an a simmering rage.
The politics of expediency,
you don’t educate,
you plough and sow the fields of hate.
From this, you create a new world order: lines of demarcation -
one base on their fears and prejudices.
Then — You appropriate this to bolster yourself.
Traditionalism, the reverence to traditional values is the new mantra, a new old golden age beckons,
one where we all know our places,
not surprisingly one in which you maintain your privilege status.
The absurdity:
Look, in this new age, like never before, the elite have regained the reigns of power; we live in a new feudal era governed by oligarchs, corporate barons, and so called self made macabre nouveau rich entrepreneurs. When one embraces the perversity of the rich stating that a tax regime should be maintained that enables him to accumulate more wealth so that he can bestow charity unto others, and the populous willing accept this doctrine, yes, we are truly living in a new dark age.
