BORDEL

Satyrical concept of pop culture

 

    BORDEL

 

Patience fella`s, notice where we put the "a",

Tell the truth now are we not a

picky lot ?

Where we find the Almighty is on our side

When we politically abide

 

No Bordella in this story , no bordello either

But did you notice how ears perked up

At the suggestion of scandalous behavior ?

We hang, we native specie, on the hint of

Sad or melancholy lives

 

And the suggestion that we are corrupt

Is enough to send us into a dither

For we are a strange and duplicitous culture

Where the hint of predators and filth

Intrigue`s our dark, black and animal nature

 

Bordel my lord must be ok

We did not mean to offend

The word is a waffle and it will bend

to suit whatever power treads

So, we bow to all the others

 

Dark, black, murky world, where intrigue

Is hinted, maybe said

Compassion for the underworld , dream

Flatulence par excellence in place of joy

Bordel is perhaps another toy

 

In our brave world , so far above

The stiff in overalls

Let no one think a pure thought

Less he`s found to have no balls

Think and advertise your denigration

 

Don`t ever suggest a tenderness

You may be thought to pander guile

Build higher with the stuff of bowels

Salute the under-belly of the world

Some may hold their place a while

 

Look up! 

Above the sun is shining

Look up! Stars are too

Look up !  You are a winner

Look up! We all love you

How uplifting in the end though it is that word that calls so many probably to read this work...you are so telling in your treatment of them kind...thank you. As for pop culture, it earned it's lollipop for awhile and is on a backslide to those of us who take up the quill in hand and try to make a difference with it all. Thanks again.
Light,

This one made me think. You ARE a great observantionist. And what is most important, you can write about what you observe to enable others to experience it...from your point of view. This is what I like most about your writings. I can see through your eyes....into your thoughts...emotions...and perhaps...but JUST a bare sliver of a glimmer...into your soul. You are who you are...you think what you think...you write what you write...with a strength I find very compelling.
This poem...more that anything I've read of yours...makes me wish I knew you. Strange...wonder why?

POP CULTURE= Popular in todays society.

Bordel is not a word. I have a feeling that you know this. Was it a simple trick to attract those looking for a spicy poem about a w***e house? lol

I look at the most popular crazes in today's society and find it sadly lacking.

Take for an instant, Paris Hilton: She is plastered all over magazines simply because she drinks and drives. I remember last year when she went to jail for 10 days after violating her probation and driving under the influence, again. She has even made her own pornographic film. Our young people look up to this young woman who has been popularized by the media. When Paris was released from jail the whole fiasco was televised live all over the country. How sad. There is death, crime and a war going on, how could Paris Hilton's release from jail be of any importance in these days and times?

We have EMO kids who glorify cutting themselves. Homosexuality is becoming a new trend in some social circles.

Death and blood is becoming sexy?

I am sorry that I have began to rant. But, it seems to me that things of real substance have become rather boring and no longer has a place in pop culture.

The reality is: Sex, violence and even drug use is popularized by the media.

It is all very sad....

Clever use of words, clever twist from the start of the journey to the end... and oh, so true. Some great phrases... 'Dark, black, murky world, where intrigue Is hinted, maybe said Compassion for the underworld , dream Flatulence par excellence in place of joyBordel is perhaps another toy'
