B-SHARP MINOR A simple life now over-complicated Straightforward problems are convoluted And their solutions are often senseless Devised by half-wits whose sense is clueless Whose smug pretension impairs their reason Arrogantly brazen, seeking cohesion With like-minded cretins, those sheepish minions Devoid of logic yet so dialogic The results are inane Problematic diction when saying “Kiev”, “Beijing”, or “Tokyo”, to fill one’s ego Basic is better, value the vital Desire the simpler, shorten the title Be real, be honest, be true, be primal Confound with candor, endorse with standards All this progression has led us backwards Lead with conviction, defy predictions To be more humane Si Diesis Minore È molto complicato È la stessa cosa di Do minore - February 2022, Ash Hall
