Inept Depthless Visions



There they sit.
The ones picked and given,
Their inept depthless visions.
While evaluating meaningless decisions.
Procrastinating useless opinions.
On the state the World.
From their juvenile point of view.
Already to be shown,
A repeating of doing pretentions known.
As those affixed in complete disbelief,
Time after time...
Await relief from sorrows and grief.
Listening to reports of read lines placed.
Daring them not to cross.
Or else conflicts started,
Will bring their own remorse.
To begin without end!

'Uh...hmmm.
We must be firm.
Unmovable to let them know.
The seriousness,
Of their activities.
No longer we can continue to dismiss!'

'Okay.
This we have said before.
And after each red line,
They've crossed to be ignored.
Yet the more we create another red line?
They appear defiant.
Everything.
What is that 'what else',
Could we use next to do?
They seem immune to our threats.'

'Hmmm.
You go and tell them,
With more bass in your voice.
The choice is not theirs to make.
We have the upper hand.
And...
Ignoring our demands,
Is not in their best interest.
Of this make sure they understand.'

'Perhaps we should consider,
Another color more to their liking.
Since more of their nonsense,
We have warned no longer...
Sit patiently to tolerate.
Perhaps the red lines drawn,
Is not their preference to accept.
Maybe we should ask,
If we threaten to use blue or...
A blended mix with green,
To heighten the color of their hazel eyes.
Letting them know,
What they've done to do...
Will make it more personal.
Leaving them no other choice.
But to expect that 'what else',
Is more serious than all red lines.
Left on the bottom of their shoes.
As if this addresses,
Some kind of fashion statement!'

'And this to do,
Will stop and prevent more destruction?'

'Remember,
We are living in times...
We must find anything,
To appease the minds of those...
Inept with depth less visions.
Everything else we have tried,
Continues to make no sense at all!'

'And...
This you recommend,
Does!?'

'Hey...
It's all about power.
Ego and narcissism.
From the bottom up.
To suit those deluded,
With kept unending pretensions met.
At the expense of innocent lives ruined!'
