What is the meaning of this !? (prequel)
My friend, my friend, my friend...
(casual roll of the right accompanied by a slight forward bow in a smug, but not condescending manner).
Concurrent ideologies may, in some form,
Be synergistic to their parallels and in doing so reform..
Their apparent logic and reasoning of thought.
Diversify I say to thee, diversify my they/them/thee,
Make haste of your humility, my friend take a knee..
Be not so noble of mind that touts to be haught!
(Somewhat dismissive laugh-subtly- under a hand covering an impassioned smirk).
Was it not Winston Churchill who said :
"Do what I say or you will be exterminated"
..and that, my fine young thespians is our societal dichotomy in a nutshell.
Or is it? No is the answer. Absolute Kabbaddi.
About this poem
First envisioned as a rebuke to the victimisation of the societal patriarch in 1939, this is a modernisation of S.F. George's "Most humble Brethren!" as translated to modern political gas lighting sensibilities.
