A World Where Everyone Failed

CEE

“What was best grade, on Macbeth test?”
“‘F’. Everybody Failed.”
(Flash Forward, 30-odd years)
I won’t say the electricals don’t work
Or the government fell apart
Or society fragmented
Or Giancarlo Esposito knocks at people’s doors
That isn’t how it played,
Because that would Never Be how it played
Scifi editors universally reject that shit
But, it’s the Middle Ages, all the same
It’s the Middle Ages
In a Future now Present
Where Nothing Whatever came to fruition
It’s torn lives and rags of lives and dirty lives
And torn, dirty rags of lives
Of failure, crumbs and crusts
It’s false hope criminals hold out to suckers
It’s false hope held by suckers
It’s false hope that never plays out
And neither God nor Bill Maher
Make anyone’s life better, ever
Not even for the ones who scream at you
To listen to either one,
So, it’s the Middle Ages, The Collector’s Edition,
Ignorance, zealotry and chamber pots dumped
And, it ain’t no outdated scifi device, but
Adamantium irrejectible,
‘Cause as goes the hack standup twaddle,
“I’m not makin’ this up.”
