"Enlightened Self-Interest"

These are not order friendly times    
as the lords of chaos rule    
their ugly nooks and baneful crimes    
all to make the meek the fool    
and they the rough and righteous tough;    
that old recipe for upstarts,    
which everyone has seen enough    
from royalty to Bonapartes.    
   
All too deep are their emotions    
where there's a dip for every shit    
which fill with their commotions,    
instead of using wit,    
since cheap passion is the fashion    
and cold reason in the doghouse    
as something that we must ration    
before grandpa begins to grouse    
or celebrate something senseless    
like all the miles that he walked    
as he claimed he was pretenceless    
about the rolls he said he rocked.    
   
But the shit of which they are most full    
are words of strongman leadership...    
shock-jocked, so they're never dull,    
(like Truth Social's readership)...    
more and more out of its mind    
AS YOU CAN TELL BY ALL CAP LETTERS,  
to which the stupid folks seem blind...    
and certainly not our betters.    
   
Don't let the loudmouths dictate terms    
on how the rest of us might thrive;    
their brains most likely contain worms...    
in that part where brains connive.
