REX MEDIOCRITAE
by Michael Allen Pierce
Mediocrity is King ~ His kingdom wide The streets are lined with stone.
His subjects blind are hypnotized
by endless monotone.
The tune is bland and quick to swallow, insipid to the ear.
His sycophants are quick to follow, accepting what they hear.
Assembled by day in the Royal Court, they sport their factory tans.
The parking lot outside the fort
is full of gray sedans.
This is where they waste their minds,
a haven to hide from reality.
Senses dulled by banal rhyme,
lulled by the song of insanity.
Content to play the mindless drone,
the King remains upon his throne.
The lyrics from his lips are bland, expressions from his heart of sand.
With shiny shrink-wrapped spark & flash, he fleeces them of all their cash.
