part of the shitegeist

social commentary, unsociable commentary?

part of the shitegeist

icons of virtue

gods of valour

decrepit insignificance

of no import

commercial clowns

on the dollar take

watched and fawned

adored or deplored

worries about AI

when indeterminate intelligence

goes hand in hand

with opulence

pretence of elegance

classless antithesis of substance

happy are the rich and dumb

for they simply party and cum

work is just a game

but not one of survival

one they've won

for nothing done

Thanks for reading!

    “One they’ve won for nothing done” is such a brilliant line, Paul!!

  • Never has this been truer in the history of the world. We truly are in the midst of a shitegeist.

    Wow! You sound kinda angry in this one - I love it, especially about work being just a game, but not one of survival.
