The Twitter Revolutionaries

~~

Riled up by the Twitter Viscount
Go get your pitchforks, half-off discount
The weather’s good for revolution
Cyber-corps, internet pollution
Pick the hill on which you want to die
And proceed to become the gadfly
Sacrifice humanity for spit
Oppress all opposition by fit
The skid row poverty aesthetic,
Underneath the costume, pathetic
A full belly and a lying mouth
Who points their finger at the South
Daddy’s girl plays Marxist frondeur
Marching past the myriad poor
Inventing problems to fight against
Socio-political incense
Another zeitgeist sent to the block
One of those you are allowed to mock
This was never about equal seats
Suburban commando in the streets
Plant your flag in somebody’s backyard
Goose step salute on your mom’s swiss Chard
At the house of glass you throw a brick
When the real thing would kill you quick
Momma’s boy playing heretic
To find the next pair of boots he’ll lick
Demonize those outside the groupthink
Critical parroting all in sync
Any opposition is scary
For the twitter Revolutionary.

~Josh, 2021

This is a picture-perfect portrait of the disheartening, all too sensitive times we live in. I applaud you, sir, and share your anger. Thanks for this poem.

brilliant, brilliant and brilliantly said. That's why I ain't on it.
