a 'Universalist' !

           On Cultural Entropy
     ('Runaway American Dream' II)

      ['war is hell....and life is
         war...certainly you must
          expect 'casualties'?!]

When beaten up and beaten down
even the 'clown'...forsakes the clown
for nothing's right...and nothing's left
when the laughter's gone
except more human debris
and so the mind dies of starvation
amid the finest collection of
cultural 'junk food' ever assembled....
and, the final joke is on us
but the 'living dead' cannot acknowledge!

Excellent meter and interesting construction SHDP...A rather glum outlook which I pictured in my mind as long miles in the freezing rain...skidding around the loop in heavy traffic!
Lots to digest, and think about here.
Many fantastic lines here.
