In the land of Glitch and Gloomy
bad is good and
good is looney.
Monsters walk
with pinkies raised
wolves wear
woolen socks for days.
Goblins, a friendly
kind of spook,
dine with witches
on vegan brew.
Tales of old
that once told truth
lie stacked,
forbidden,
for today’s youth
to read
and wrestle with
in thought,
archaic words
no longer sought.
Parent guides say
thus and so, and
unsuspecting
children go
into mind’s darkness
where can’t be found
diversity from
those around.
Status quo
what others say
and think,
the intellectual
pool of stink.
In the land of
Glitch and Gloomy
landscape’s greying
water’s looming
dulled, deceptive
thoughts abound
without the tales
of truth around.
That is an apt commentary on the times we are in. Alienation from old values and their priceless wisdom is certainly leading the newer generations to the ‘Land of Glitch and Gloomy’.
