Cynically Positive Or Negatively Sarcastic Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Cynically Positive Or Negatively Sarcastic



So powerful has negativity become.
It seems these days,
That anyone having a displayed...
Positive outlook.
They are immediately suspected...
As being cynical, sarcastic and bitter.
How ridiculous is that?

And...
A threat to those who are,
Sincerely cynical.
Obnoxiously sarcastic.
And those foaming at the mouth,
Spewing bitter and hateful epitaphs...
At everything and everyone.
After leaving behind spouses and children,
Mentally and physically abuse.
Because their favorite,
Basketball, football, hockey or car racing team...
Had been prevented from beating each other.
To win a game or crash cars.

Because of a death threatening pandemic,
Has disrupted their normal dysfunctional lives!


People have lost their minds,
Over not being able to occupy them...
To be entertained by the significance,
Of this importance to prioritize!

"Uh...
Which side of the fence are you on? "

I haven't decided that yet.
Too many today are diversely pre-occupied.
So difficult these days it is,
To offend anyone.
Whether I am being intentionally negative.
Or a cynic making attempts,
To be positively sarcastic.
And I remember the times,
How easy it was to do both.
And no one knew the difference.

"Wow.
What a dilemma."

Tell me about it!
