Poems ✍️

Is there a civil servant who was sent
into the masses of the common folks,
aiming official powers at the Discontent
or have we all been victims, once again, of jokes?
The relevance of words, such as 'to serve',
has faded to oblivion years ago.
No longer does exist the righteous nerve,
word in the street today is to eat crow.
Strange things have happened, ringing in defeat,
some say that we are seeing future trends,
no longer are there neighbours in our street,
there is an empty silence and no friends.
I do not really pay attention to the rationale,
they say that evil forces grow from simple greed.
As I'm resigned to see myself as my exclusive pal
suppose it is the lack of intellect, oh yes, indeed!
