blase

We risk becoming blase

as the daily toxic cabaret

delivers us examples of

behaviours full of sin.

In normalising rhetoric

and double spoken narrative

we find ourselves beholden to

a soup of thickened spin.

Belief was once available

to anchor us in certainty

with honesty detectable

we knew the line was thin

But now within our politic

the emptiness and hollowness

of meaning and of messaging,

the end will soon begin.
