Unwitting SatireA Poem by C. MclarenI had no idea how to say it other then how I've said it here. The issue makes my blood boil and this is how I voiced my point.UOn the
subject of spotting “untruths” in the world of “the arts”, I say the
following... I know
there’s a saying that “it is better to keep silent and be thought a fool, than
to open your mouth and remove any doubt”, however I think some times call for
you to be the only fool willing to stand up and shout out the honest truth. The meaning
being; It’s better to be considered foolish than to commit yourself to a lie.
Sometimes being called “a fool” is worth the risk. Better to
risk losing one’s head, than it is to fill it with nonsense and nod in accord
with the emperor when he presents his new clothes. Nobler to
take a slap in the face, than a pat on the a*s. Greater
honor in wearing the title of “The Jackass”, than in that of “The Liar”. Expose the
unwitting and do it with satire. And in that
you’ll find the glorious joke in that which made our species broke. We have
robbed ourselves of our own intelligence, and now we stand as the naked proud
ignoramus. Waiting for satire shotguns to come claim us. Break free
the shackles that ensnare your minds, And lace
jackboots to deliver swift kicks of what they classify as “fascist” and what we
know as “standard’s justice” to the necks of those who wipe the word “Art”
against their behinds. Do it now
and often, Before our
precious world of art becomes baptized In what
sprouts forth from their backsides. This is
what I say to the “fake” and the “posed”, who parade themselves as equal to the
“real” and the “gifted”. And if
they’re out there reading my words without care, then **** ‘em, it wasn’t for
their entertainment that I wrote what I said here. -
