Suffering Saviors...

Even as newly discovered celestial objects

appear on a scenic tour of our neighbourhood,

I must drop my eyes from the universe!

I must come out of the skies

forced to face other golden lights,

forced for the moment to forget neo wise!

Forced to face guardian champions,

in this room that is filled

with suffering saviors that believe

they are better than the people they are saving.

Forced to conceal a giggle.

Forced to decisions that contradict their ideals,

it does chime humorously with succotash.

Suffering saviors with their succotash wish!

Cartoons of broken corn and limas,

do you know when to add the okra,

what to do when living in the minus?

That’s a trigger warning for all you little snowflakes,

the recipe is over, add the brass tacks to this nail soup.

Reality just jumped out of that xbox

it could be a Saviour,

like a christ on a cross or cracker,

so feared in this compensation culture.

Creature of meaning, of purpose, we are myth!

This savior has the nerve to say, “demonetization

is worth the pain”,

but really you should go buy your own milk.

Charity is their privilege… Really?

Spit out the buzzwords: engagement, innovation,

sharing economy,

Tell the saviors to follow not lead.

Tell the saviors, the change agents,

the social entrepreneurs,

we need deep change, not quick fixes.

Tell them to read Balzac! Remember what he said,

“behind every fortune is a concealed crime”.

Money twice stolen,

It has been decoded in all the hero worship,

the world does not need any more heroes

of the savior kind,

scream the grassroots challengers;

change the system with systematic solutions,

now go back and watch our sky!
