Acrid...Vibes

I am a victim of the machine
Society’s intolerance of tolerance
Drives the stage
True problems upstaged
By those who demonstrate with rage

Stealing and stoning
Breaking and burning
No yearning for change
Just an opportunity to steal the stage
--To simply be

All the world has truly become a stage now, everyone vying for the spotlight, to out-do and out-smart the person who came before them. It makes me think of the movie "Salo", where human suffering was a hilarious and morbid diversion. Very on point and gripping poem, Sol. Queen Reb:).

This sums up society (especially of late). It's was well worded and insightful. I love that all you need is a word and you can weave anything around it.
