ENLIGHTENMENT
by Valerie Bittner Oh to be a 'moderate', the darling of the age The focus of the limelight, the centre of the stage; Lauded by the media, courted by the press, Beloved by politicians in their times of stress How to be this wonderous thing has given me much thought, The secret of such acclaim I've studiously sought; And now I think I've found the key and would this joy impart To all those who seek not to 'upset the apple-cart'. Black is White and White is Black; the Moon is made of cheese; A lie is truth and truths a lie if one desires to please Numb the senses, dull the wits, obey the new decree; The life-blood may be ebbing but the cotton-wool is free. Thus have I now 'found' myself, my spirit born anew; And all disruptive questioning I henceforth eschew; Let 'moderation' guide me to the truly deserved fate Planned carefully so long ago by the most immoderate. |
