Militant Masters of Irony's Light

Of paradox in parody

extremism's jesters

orchestrate their demented

ride on life's carousel

 

The world is left

spinning on a razor blade,

seriating security

making void any hope or balance

by their surreal and sick satires,

slicing away

at the delicate cords of clarity

until it becomes a slip not

strangling one's sanity.

 

Standing in the swampland

created by their hostile skill,

craftsman sculpting chaos,

calling it the perfect curative pill.

 

A planet orbiting through the space

in between two lips

where bias begets its abandoned orphans.

 

Walking the maze with corruption's slime

on the walls,

seeing the propaganda posters

declaring, "have a nice day,"

words in fine print,

"or else I'll snuff out your life."

 

Sages who studied in hell's college,

dispensing the knowledge of a lethal education,

doling out butcher knifes

for use as a toothbrush.

 

Before your mouth

attempts to boast its sagacity,

I want to see the words your fingers write

on another's existence.

Author notes

Used following at inspiration
http://allpoetry.com/poem/4457349

manic mind makes witty wisdom

never trust anyone
not even yourself
if your self
is questionable

my only advice
in a world gone mad
with money
malice
and machine guns

sex sells or buys
depending on the taste of
whomever is in the drivers seat
that day

i have to piss in acup
to get a job
while my tax dollars
pay druggies to stay home
test free and fat

we are born into slavery still
if you open your mind
long enough to acknowledge
the way in which this world works

"wisdom is what makes people kill themselves"
says the devil
oh how right she is

but enough of that
you want to speak of wisdom
lets talk

    loved it all but i will say i was somewhat thrown off by the fact that you ran with the whole world theme and no added in about you stuff... i think every piece should be personalized in a way ... hmmm... great job and i thank you for your time and your talent ...
