Aphorist pamphlets pose:
“Why do bad things happen to good people?”
Jehovah’s Witnesses await like statues
At the end of the world
The passing parade
Of digitalised zombies
Wrapped in social media cocoons
Stumble past but not present
Between cave and workplace cubicle
Heads full of personalised propaganda
Fed on a diet of entitlement and hate
Trading outrage for ego in echo chambers
Reinforced ignorance meets reinforced concrete
At some future junction
Of confident stupidity
and obedient peasantry
The decrees of the reigning gentry
Rain down on upturned faces
That accepted with humility
The futility of their place
