Slogans

Worried about how we’ll cope,
We still thought we’d make it—but nope:
Paradoxically strange,
We had hope without change,
And now we have change without hope.

Don’t Be Depressed!

Don’t be depressed and in doubt:
Keep your head held up high and don’t pout;
Soldier on! Do it now!
I’ll let you know how—
Just as soon as I figure it out.

Strange Days

We’re surprised every time we detect
Something new in our lives getting wrecked;
We’re dismayed, bit by bit, 
As our world turns to shit—
But what else then did we expect?

Thought for the Day

Here are my thoughts for a penny:
The reasons to give up are many;
And if you should find
These thoughts in your mind,
Now is as good a time as any.

Politics Anymore

The world’s in the midst of rebranding,
Including re who is commanding:
The changes in clime
Bring a new paradigm—
The one that’s called “last person standing.”

EROEI #2

How much we still try might be tested
With an acronym doomers suggested;
It’s thusly discerned:
"Enjoyment Returned
On Energy Invested."

WASF

We used to complain that things sucked—
Then came doom, which we cannot obstruct;
Words can’t really express
Just how bad is this mess,
And so we say, “We are so fucked!”

Fuck Me

Fuck me, and the hope I contrive,
Fuck me running for being alive;
Fuck me hard, fuck me dead,
Fuck me sideways, I said,
Fuck my life, and all of that jive.

There’s Still Hope

You don’t need a research committee
To know that the future’s not pretty;
But still there is hope
That, with liquor and dope,
Things will seem somewhat less shitty.

Happy  New Year everybody!
