A Satire
Satire, they say.
Making fun of a generation
Satire exposing the flaws in the various systems that make up the heartbeat of our planet
The pulse is poisoned
The blood is toxic
Fraud.
Lies.
It’s all satire, they say
Sarcastic, yes
A joke, yes
Funny, maybe.
True?
Yes.
Despite the punchlines and the laughs
The comedians have a point
There are problems in our world
That make for great tips at comedy joints
They’re right about the corruption
They’re right about the death
They’re right about the heartbreak
They’re right about the situation’s depth.
Sarcastic, yes
A joke, yes.
Funny, maybe.
True?
Yes.
