Verse Poem 2

Hello all,

Below you will find the second verse poem I’ve decided to post. Tonight is a debate between horrible people. In their dishonor and ours, I’ve chosen this poem. Let me know what you think, if you decide to read it.

All the best,

JCO

Talkin’ Bout My G-G-G-Generation!
Our fetish for flagellation is
A Freudian thrill, the theme of the
Thanatos-eros errored urges like

Some sort of silly suicidal-
Societal social experiment
Exposing erosions of ethics

As anxiety allows an artificial
Attack on ourselves, opening
Orwell’s pandora pandemonium in

Social media’s meatgrinder like
Gluttony’s penitentiary, pleasure centers
Measure meaning, in a demeaning

World where wanton wants warp wit and whip
Unbelievers; their fevers contagious,
A deceiver's delirium wherein

The climactic climax of kindness is
Ignorance, grand-standing virtual
Vitriol of pathetic unsympathetic

Tolerant empaths and emissaries of
Thanatos-eros errored urges like…
Some sort of fetish for flagellation.
