Sentimental Pandering

Generic sentiments on tragedy

Engendering the ego for the sake of exposure

The fraud

Of caring for the sake of exposure

Write about tragedy like a motivational poster

　

Packaged and distributed to an audience

Hoping for intellectual confirmation

The fraud

Feining hope and pretending disclosure

The tragedy of reactionary sympathy

　

A fraud called "no ego"

Dummy enlightenment for the sake of exposure

Plastic and entirely derivative

Parrot enlightenment

　

Jesus had no publicist

Vishnu had no youtube

The Dali Lama's become mistaken

There are no bodhisattva's left

Just attention w****s pandering like trolls

Without the insults

But no less insidious

Seeking what they know they should not be

(applause for their cause)

Wow. This is very powerful. I feel this way often when we are struck with tragedy. You describe the public's honeyed words and publicized actions so well. Great job with this piece.

Why thank you. It's very kind of you to say to me.
