Stefan Splawinski Poems

myth of the modern rise of man
nothing progress shall impede
we can improve all with time
superstition and gods recede
...

we need to live for peace
everlasting welfare state
cradled in happy comfort
global hunger will abate
...

low common denominator
creates inclusive ways
the mediocre enshrined
to reinvent former days
...

entertainment replaces information
news bulletins very skilfully made
old grannies falling down the stairs
and all disaster action replayed
...

media time is very essential
money into pockets inserted
pressure group opinion made
men bought justice perverted
...

all entry to our favoured band
only members through the door
restricted to the chosen few
for the rich and not the poor
...

ever since the wakening of man
the forces of darkness display
strong powers that create evil
so that light won't hold sway
...

go sell your soul to the highest
bidder of much material wealth
who can grease your eager palm
and improve your fiscal health
...

facts in history of man
an item of fiscal magic
worldwide cause of those
consequences most tragic
...

city of two hundred tongues
place to hear exotic babble
diversity gives us strength
taking us above mere rabble
...
