Offsite Post: ‘The Age of Liberation’

 

Not so long ago,

In the miserable

Ages of slavery,

Our wills and passions were

Restrained by obedience

To parents and the care

Of the bodies of aging

Grandsires.  But the forward

March of Progress has freed us

From the dungeon-home.

 

Alone in our apartments,

Unencumbered

With the care of others,

Our personalities

Are free to develop

With the help of Paxil

And a dose of Xanax.

 

Liberated

From garden, cow, and kitchen

We let McDonald’s

Mass-produce our daily meals.

 

The repetition

Of elders’ ancient tales

Oppresses us no more.

Holy Ælfred the Great, King of England, South Patron, pray for us sinners at the Souð, unworthy though we are!

Anathema to the Union!
