You're too kind Olde one...
it's my opinion that our world has, over time, evolved to be an Orwellian dystopia of self destructive elements spawned from the darker side of humanity
the media , world leaders , powers that be are neither right or wrong, they exist in that grey area where followers ,deniers, believers ,etc are caught in up in the grand conundrum of the seven deadlies continually manifested, manipulated, prostituted and pontificated
anyways , i'm best off pooning it all with paltry poetry

You know, Sparky, I have read that thing about five times. I agree, you are probably best described as a poet, completely unconcerned with what us lesser posters think is important, such as, for instance, evidence to back up whatever convictions we form. So, your personal, ideosyncratic impression of the world flows into your statements, unchecked, untested. That's fine, and perfectly within your prerogatives. It is also hard to have a debate confronted with what amounts to pure self-expression. You are also completely undisciplined a thinker (just as undisciplined a writer and typist, I might add).
In order to infest your narrative with some evidence, look 80 years back, to 1940. World War II was still in the early stages, Nazi Germany still in the planning stages of their crime of industrial extermination, Japan still in the planning stages of setting SE Asia alight and bringing the U.S. into the conflagration. Life as usual in the U.S. looked nice enough, if you ignore separate lunch counters and the occasional lynching. That, and what was to come during the following years, might be described as a "the grand conundrum of the seven deadlies continually manifested, manipulated, prostituted and pontificated", or "an Orwellian dystopia of self destructive elements spawned from the darker side of humanity", ending with the firestorms of Tokyo and the nukes on Japanese population centers. We, currently, even while grappling with Covid-19 and its economic and political fall-out, even while grappling with the historical accident of the Orange moron squatting in the Oval Office, even while dealing with conspiracy-obsessed morons in numbers (maybe) larger than ever, and larger than is healthy, certainly, are not living in such a time, at least there is no evidence for it.
