straining to maintain

straining to maintain a sense of dense intensity
vainly feigning pain of a spurious immensity
a furious refrain of precarious opacity
nefarious pretence of censorious ferocity
laboriously trained herds of words of plain mendacity
expressing less than nothing with a nauseous precocity
fastidiously piddling on pleasantry and paradox
it’s just a way of having fun

slurring worm-like words with slithering slithy writhing rhymes
turning learned terms into babbling brawling bleeding crimes
slothfully filling up a steaming vat of foaming sludge
slyly slipping slops onto a slick black slab of slanting stuff
intimidating bringer of a bitter imitation grudge
dignity defiled by a guilty ignominious bluff
carelessly incorporating chords of no great consequence
it’s just a way of getting done
