Civilised Society

new painting:

The Philosophy of Disobedience (after Henry Thoreau) 45cm x 15cm, acrylic on superwood

CIVILISED SOCIETY

The problem with White We

Steered toward

Master of the World

Educated propriety

Future Status elbow

All others out the way

Attitude –

Pretending we believe

We know what’s best

What’s right for everybody

And how it’s all supposed to be

Polite

And dutiful sobriety

Make way for the wind

Tonight

Civilised society
