All those bureaucrats and so called liberals;
All those who castrate creativity;
All those who desecrate the intellect;
All those connoisseurs of culture; all those
Guardians of 'Beauty' create obstacles
And unnecessary diversions. They manage
To pollute the clear waters of Truth.
They fawn over two bit celebrities;
Hyped actors and washed out comedians.
They wax lyrical about all kinds of
Obscure nonsense, while significant
Matters and issues always seem, somehow,
To elude them. Well... that is their problem.
Thank goodness, I have parted ways with them.
Now I can focus solely on my art
And yes..now I can dream big once again!
Thanks Mahtab! I'm pleased that you agree with my perspective on bureaucrats and their ilk.
yeah; exactly right you are- They manage To pollute the clear waters of Truth. They fawn over two bit celebrities; .../// a true expression on satire of social classes
Yes, they are truly a pathetic lot. They are not even good liars. I had my fill of them. I never had any dealing with them until I moved to Sweden. Now, I only had to deal with the fools in the Pension authority as my final act of suffering the fools. Hopeful, they do not mess up my payouts but alas I am the eternal optimist.
Thanks Michael..sorry to hear about your bad experiences with the powers that be. I've had some bad experiences with the H.M.R.C (Her Majesty's Revenues and Customs) ..to call the fools who work there 'incompetent' would be to flatter them...they are truly unbelievable!
