Don't Read If You Take Anything Seriously
This is a poem that basically insults every aspect of modern life that I could think of: art, music, poetry, fame, socialising and living
Splish, splash
Purple dash
Bit of blue
Call it new
This is modern art
Screech, scream
Discords teem
When in doubt
Give a shout
This is modern music
“Rhythm, rhyme?”
“No! No time!”
Ignore the frame
Clichéd name
This is modern poetry
Weep, wail,
“Life doth fail!”
Slit my wrists
A million hits
This is modern fame
Poke, ping
Say something
“How many likes?”
“Who’s this Mike?”
This is modern socialising
Bump, grind
Thoughts behind
Carry on
Soul is gone
This is modern living
