THESE TIMES!

At times I am forced to feel,

As if I am doomed to be,

Among the idiots of these times.



How these people make me laugh,

Hiding a wounded heart within,

O these idiots of the times.



Is this really my age...

I keep asking myself when,

I see the idiots of these times.



Foolish men,

Fooling themselves - and others -

Struggling to live in these times.



Vain women,

Nude, exploited:

By the devils of these times.





The way they talk,

The way they stalk:

The filthy souls of these times!



Greed and hatred overflows,

Envy, malice and pride glows,

How can such eyes read my rhymes?



In such a dirty, rotten age,

I, a misfit, doomed to be,

With the morons of these times.
