I’m oh so tired, intellectually bored,
with people mouthing memes,
and slogans over and over again
as if logic is not what it seems.
I hear so much stupidity
that I question whether or not
I have early onset dementia,
or if my mind is just shot.
In the Guardian the other day I read
that pollution has made us less smart:
from some of the thoughts I am hearing
I’d rather listen to somebody fart!
Our world is completely polarised
between the left and the right:
given the choices that we now have
I think I’ll just give up the fight.
We had so much potential
to forge social justice for all,
but now each side is only concerned
with new marginalising names to call.
I’m oh so tired, and I feel alone,
as the world rants around me, insane.
There is so much good that we could do
if we’d just lose this worm in our brain.
We used to boast of great thinkers,
of intellectual gods:
but hate and time destroyed all that:
we are now just stupid sods.
