Since we’re humungousing them
crorefunding their girth
over education and farmer woes
I’m building my own colossus
the Statue of UnCommonsense
it will be more hulking
than forget
so practical as to flourish
revenue touristy trapping
with chiselled nose for logic
overlording the silly seas
bon sens metaphysique
in plain plaster feetitude
a level-headed behemoth
holding the scales
of down-to-earthy actioning
over the bureau of wot-to-do
sculpted shiningly in no-nonsense
a surveyor with monster eyeslanting
at mountainous red-tapery
hewn from measured boulders
with bargepole arm distances
to doltish state-wresting
and dictatory lockdown’s syndrome
showing a gravewitted finger
to the booming opioid markets
of religious othering
a mega-torso of heroic
gargantua aesthetic of astute
with much bigness to idolise.
