Delusions
Delusions
Everywhere
So many heads
Just swimming
With them. Hey
Look, I’m friends
With a thousand
Malaysian Beauty
Queens, and they’re
All 18. And Lookie
Here, my impromptu
Poem got 9 likes, and
I wrote it on the clock
At work. The boss is
Such a jerk. And don’t
forget to Thumbs-up the
vid of my old 80s rock
band too because we
would have made it
for Sure if our singer
Hadn’t been such
A flake. Delusions
Of grandeur and
Goodness too in
The vast Buddhaverse
Of virtue-signalling
Bodhisatvas and
That blue Hindu
God and his consort
Too: Look how hip
your Views are, loving
Me so much that
You don’t think I
Should have a
Gun in a world like
This….And then
There’s the
Smarmy fool
Who discounts
Appalling realities
As “conspiracy
theories” bc he
Doesn’t know
That phrase was
Concocted by
A certain intelligence
Agency to throw us
Of the trail of Who
Did JFK. Delusions
Delusions like
Politics and
Religions whose
Perpetrators are
All in the pockets
Of the same pay-
Masters. But I know,
I know, reality is just
Too much for us to
Take down straight,
So mix our drinks
With that sweet
Delusion-juice,
Bartender,
And thank you very
Much.
