stgreenieOur view from the train
piecing through
the Winter's landscape
was quite visually deceptive
For we would find
upon arrival
finding solar #warmth
in this chilled environment
was yet another wishful illusion
we brought a long as baggage
Trying to please you
by adhering to your #precious rules
is as ludicrously impossible
as taking a small sip from a waterfall
Drowned by the sheer volume
of conflicting expectations
give me pause to reflect
if your attached high maintenance
is worth the aggravation
What time is breakfast?
I'm having mine in bed
With you hopefully
Though you are a thousand miles away
your sultry syllables sway
over the text airwaves
in such a stimulating way
it makes me feel
all hot and sticky
I just pray you are real
Such are the depths
of the #spellbound obedience
by the cult minions
neither their conscious
assent or consent
is required by Cult Leader
for their mindless
unwavering unanimous support
of his latest
unmitigated disaster quest
They truly be useful idiots
No points will be granted
for edges walked with intention
be they well meant
or with malice
Since we are solely
results oriented
we will only be #magnanimous
to achievers in the top tier
No nice try accolades
for those who fall short
in this bottom line world
Incendiary words linger on the edge
of this tension filled environment
teetering on the brink
of serious conflict
Both sides seek to agitate
in a dangerous game of chicken
where we could all end up fried
with the slightest miscalculation
Looking back
language degradation
became inflection pointed
in a negative direction
with the acceleration
of acronym tech texting
Once the #splendor of language
was hand held bastardized
communications were marginalized
beyond all human recognition
Don't think for a moment
your suck up #meek queries
to the powers that be
will garner you
any journalistic glory
Because you value access
more than job integrity
prelude to insight passes
which was the intent
of your new found friends
you sold your reporter's soul to
