No Publishers Seem Interested

No publishers seem interested That's the naughty reaction that poets And writers get, unless they are like puppets Recovered drug addicts, or contaminated By an unknown disease Ladies and gentlemen, that's how it is. No editors seem interested About decency, good manners, and love stories They are into dirt, lies, gossips, and inanities Sometimes poets feel sad and disgusted Jerks and weirdos do better They are indeed more popular. No companies seem interested Too much truth is not good for business Accountability is at the bottom of the list Well known liars are not properly vetted They are powerful due to immunity and inaction And that's the genesis of corruption.
