My Lamb is Tough

Navigating the granular
Projects concurrently in development 
And those not in the conceptual phase
Millions stand to be made from these verses.
As spring loaded words 
It’s global engagement
And using footage to pointed effect
Like collaborating on a shoe
I have the orders here.

Sometimes they get out of hand 
After all
Cultural behemoths
Payment services titans
Prediction giants
AI Colossi
Will be teams of 
Dogs eating dogs
Doggy style.

Dog eat dog
Using noise cancelling noise
To cancel the screams
Sectarian violence at trade shows 
Suicide bombings at petting zoos
Ethnic cleansings aboard ship
Even the shadow of the hawk is paywalled
Synth microgenres, vapid chat rooms
Volleyball amidst rubble.

Then I kind of stand back
And I kind of
I have to like 
I have to turn away
Yeah I mean its
Terrible news
Obviously
Where’s the server
My lamb is tough.

  1. It took a few reads. The absurdity in the first four graphs finally hit home I think and paid off with the last line of the title. Then again.

  2. You got it. Thanks. ("Absurdity in the defense of liberty is no vice..." or words to that effect.)
