Wary of the Aftermath

Wary of the Aftermath
********************

If all foods
Tasted like salad
And chicken like margarine,

Would that diminish teenage pregnancies?
Or improve the matrimonial fidelity,
Would it improve school attendance?
Even in the visionary
“school for every street” slogan?

What if flies were bees?
Would they be reviled, or traps laid for them?
Would milk still be potable
If it was naturally as red as blood? 

Alas, not for the name, but, instinctively,
we hate the taste!

Working for Stupidity

Working for Stupidity
********************

I need access
Entry and egress
Handful of stuff to assess
The red tape of the process
…tags, locks, keys and gate chits
Body sweating to serve the boss
or systems working for the ass?

Big families like big firms,
Focus on policies, retreats and petty cheaters,
Not on grand progress,
No longer on whoever cheats
or shoots for the targets
