Synergy of Sufferers
"Shared misfortunes bear more patience than those endured alone."
— Niccolò Machiavelli
The sufferers grow in number,
When Evil's faced as one.
Till pain becomes all tender,
And bestial deeds are done.
......
Some people talk less.
That doesn’t mean
They hate people.
They just have
A low tolerance
For drama,
For shouting over tea,
For people who think
Loudness equals truth.

The rimpledeeduggs klacklety splatt britly floaming,
Ere flamping drakkurz snazzle at elvitty gloaming;
Yon jamweezy wudderslimps gamwracks smotly crawling,
Hoytaling pagartrimps flotlessly wrothful in bawling!
Beete stell ere yethle flagorns craithen yere eise,
Ort smoothle yourn mithredoons bakk toon codry skize;
Bodryluntz quidups moost stupuddle cudgely pierdax,
And zakkertic flibboots wraithling in yert tardly tracks!
Dimwits of Pseudo-Science
"An economist is one who speaks
Of things he does not understand,
Yet makes you feel the fool who seeks
A grasp on all that's planned."
— Herbert Prochnow
These frauds of fog and tangled lies—
......
My mother had a stroke,
I came late for my exam.
They said I can’t sit.
Why?
Rules.
A hundred children burned alive,
Bodies shattered under a falling jet.
The whole nation is crying,
Silent in shock, kneeling in prayer.

This and That
This and that — our all in all,
A false messiah will make the call.
No strength left here — it’s done, we’re through,
We lost it all in this and that too.
