Ploys Unreaped

"Veiled" in hypocrisy
deviating,
sleazy blends,
propagate devious,
crooked lands.

Unappealing
stage characters,
unsuitable to lead,
unwilling to heed.

Coquet with debauchery of tongue
pitiable phrases -
frenzy of basking in absurd,
take up perilous stands,
sporting muddy spectacles
(unbearable clans...)

Unzealous to ascend
to elegance of transparency
as the "Know-Nothing" troops -
feeble dwarfs portraying
themselves as Goliaths!
hoity-toity... faith "ignorants"
with beclouded reason,
delighting in themselves,
baring the unlearned mode -
jabber of madness...
in insistent perpetuation
of insufferable treason.

Unaware that strength
rests in uncovering flaws
Achilles' heel...
and, concealing fault
is submitting to its ugly default...

Allowed themselves
to be guzzled away
for degraded political sway
in the main:
unforeseeing (audaciously)
governing (fallaciously)
insane (notoriously)
touching issues
that neither cerebrally
nor spiritually
can seize...

Monumental despoilers
admit triumph of collapse?!
outbreak of grotesque,
creeping mystification,
setting woozy fantasy -
(perverse link of ideas),
falling into insupportable relapse.

Ungrounded buoyancy,
relentless flippancy,
religious laziness,
rooted in intellective sleepiness...
Isn't it like
"the dying saying
'hello' to the dead"?

Are the cooked up policies
rouse social duty?
Warning voice?
Do the tenets
sharpen vital impulse?
Rob of charity?
Deny humanity?
Are fertile ground
for Force that blesses and exalts?
And, for jubilant sound
or, are abysmal holes
for "directionless"
dense moles?

Assemblage kaleidoscopic
of inane plans
put forward to caught off guard
green and raw fans...
Applause of the beginners...
Applause of the untutored...
Applause of the herded!

Insult me...
Affront me...
Dismiss me...
I shall not recoil...

Are the ploys in work
bites predacious,
stabs rapacious
and, stewing rage
at unassailable Gage?

Ploys malicious
Ploys fictitious
Can never usurp
Repute nutritious...
While earthling
Gravely stained
Savors no enduring gain...

Still, what is of greatest import
for thee and me?
Is it the nation?
Its usurpation?
Is it thee and me?

Recall...
The All-Knowing Eyes -
with No disguise...
The unending...
Infallible despise...

Loads of chuckles in this one!!!

My wife and I are still laughing! BTW we re-read this one a few times already. Doc your wise choice of words and clever and witty phrases make you a dynamo! One of your best satires... so very true and instructive, esp. the ending and our favorite idea is: "strength rests in uncovering flaws... and concealing fault is submitting to its ugly default". Great combo to be a great satirist and a great didact simultaneously! God bless! LOL
P.S. Enjoying your tweets!

Reaping Harvest of Thoughts!

WOW!!! Just love this satirical work so full of interesting phrases and convincing thoughts. I must say, I share your sentiments totally. I remember that you clarified somewhere in your works... might have been one of your books, the difference between judgment and discernment and I've never forgotten it, that when you criticize you criticize only the destructive behavior not the person as a whole for that would be a crime! Sorry, I didn't quote you as elegantly as I should. Thanks again for this great feast of thought. God bless! Keep up the tweets!
