Too Certain Of Our Self-Evident Superiority

Louder and more positive on all matters in direct proportion to the level of our willful ignorance

Too guilt-free and too smug following the privately-disclosed will of our omnipotent personal saviors

Too certain of the absolute righteousness that girds each of our noble and patriotic interventions

Over-confident in our strengths, which we are not even aware that we have never actually tested

Far too sure that tomorrow, god must again bless us with yet another blue sky Morning in America

Over-committed to that unquestionable, untested faith with which we blindly suckle our constituents

Too secure with the military reaction we say is our last resort but is always first on the table

Too busy building our future for the irrelevance of an unlearned history or our warehoused elders

Trusting without question in the omnipotently blind hand of their artfully-staged free marketplace

So easily tuning out all conflicting evidence without the slightest apparent conscious effort

Too blindly convinced of our own superiority to even listen to how silly EuroHivers do anything

Foolishly coddling sociopath corporate leaders scheming in the partial vacuum of corner office suites

Too certain that we don’t yet know enough to take any sort of too-expensive regulation, too soon

Overly content with the exceptionist duty their wise media priests tell us is our global cross to bear

Far too quick to defiantly bray out that all others are either with us or we are already against them

Mindlessly making payments for the ponzi promises of charlatan religious con artists

Too accepting of economic policy created by their industry donors behind closed government doors

Too dazzled by super bright patriotism to notice that the fatherland is decaying all around us

Overly willing to take on whopping debt trying vainly to realize vapid, implanted marketing illusions

Snapping too fast onto catchphrase judgments that belittle the unwelcome research of science

Way too quickly dismissing the myriad of different societies and beliefs which fully surround us

So unconscionably accepting of an ill-considered, falsely-justified and failed interventionism

Powerless to question our faith in a copyrighted capitalism, freedom and democracy as exports

Suicidally-chained to their myth of man’s separation from, and superiority over, the natural world

Too eager to blurt out 10 second takeaways to take the time to think things through before we speak

Tragicomically over-committed to houses, cars, lawns, TV, smartphones and coptering the kids

So very hopelessly addicted to excess quantities of red meat, sugar, caffeine, fat, salt and sloth

So wrapped up in a self-absorbed materialism we even label it as our proud and virtuous legacy

Too sure that ever more for the rich means a trickle drips down their drains onto the underclass

Too positive that their rising tide does not simply flood the dank cells of the poor with their wastes

Far too childishly demanding instant, clean, cheap energy alternatives after years at the oil nipple

Much too content to gruntingly nurse on their pureed, pre-digested and fiber-free sound bites

So certain of our righteousness that we can demand God’s blessing at every public occasion

Too carelessly mortgaging our futures with pointless military spending on barefoot boogeyman

Placing way too much weight on the canned music and video that wafts their hot-air slogans

Far too happy to keep the masses ignorant because that way they are so much easier to control
