Art portrays

Ephemeral thoughts

Lambasting complacency

Visualising current memes

Abandoning propriety

For anxious dreams

Who would have guessed it

And made the fiesta fit

In place of voiceless screams

And 50 percent youth unemployment

Trivialising but emphasising

The zeitgeist that fits

It’s bread for the circus

Generating laughter

Fighting with reality

And a generation lost

Squandering or punctuating art

Extinguishing dissension

Or expressing dissent

In the end all that matters

As the figures float by and depart

Are the flames on the water
