THE BAD END FORMULA

There were times many a norm today
…could call for society to slay
Now many a past’s ill fitting attitudes
…now bag many bowing gratitudes
It is just like the back rooms
…becoming the front rooms
And birth
…turning into death
It is intriguing!
So so intriguing!

II
Tears of yesteryears
…now bury their fears
Hopelessness of yesteryears
…now steer power with happy cheers!
Those who faced the jeers
Now live, answering to the call of “dears”
It is intriguing!
So so intriguing!

III
How did we get through disgust to these wins?
How do morals power tables from bins?
How does righteousness jump from hateful sins
…to lower raised chins
…right to forcing bright grins?
It is intriguing!
So so intriguing!

IV
All it takes is the romanticization of an ill
To still it to fill its nil
…of righteousness to squash its hateful bill
So let beauty wear the frowned upon
As handsomeness plays its gong
Let the most beloved be crowned by disgust
As the mercifully powerful pitiably showcases that disgust
Tongues will wag
Eyes will raise
Mouths will brag
To bury the disgust
…to faze
It is intriguing!
So so intriguing!
