One Hundred Poems, Volume V
()
About this ebook
Roughly 500 poems ago I set myself a task of writing 1000 poems at the rate of one per day. A personal challenge to see where I would go, whether I would finish or give up somewhere along the way.
Therefore I present the following hundred contemporary poems on popular culture, current events, societal phenomenon, and whatever else I might fancy:

I write, I read, and the typos are still there. It is the crux of my life. Anyhow, my published works should not be overpriced and in some outlets you might be even able to set your own price!

One Hundred Poems, Volume V - Tuomas Vainio
One Million Gamers Strong
Because video game censorship is wrong,
The goal is to get one million gamers strong,
In defence of those bikini clad butt cheeks,
Which gives modern puritans their creeps,
Makes them shout out: muh soggy knees,
For they remain impossible to appease,
So lets get one million gamers strong,
To show censored games are wrong,
Against the nature of this medium,
For fun is butchered into tedium,
Into another pound of grey goo,
It does not have to be our stew.
Fallout 4 – Road Goggles – Again
I finally got a pair,
That I now proudly wear,
And the wait was worth it: I swear!
But the sad fact is: I have passed level eighty-six,
And still far more to go to fill my bag of tricks,
So radiant quest are my source of conflicts-
Hence I am sent to exterminate settlements,
Under the guise of ghoulish pestilence,
Something of great unpleasantness.
Settlement population is at zero,
But alas road goggles on a hero…
Four Lines Today
And another start,
Poems as short as fart,
Flying off just like a dart,
But got to say; nothing smart.
Local News on Global Warning
It appears that nations of the world approach resolution,
When it comes to greenhouse gas related pollution,
Although once more what we lack is execution,
Thus as the time passes we face dissolution,
So nothing truly new on that 'revolution.'
But they did mention a humiliation of climate sceptics,
As Greenpeace ordered studies in favour of sceptics,
Proving how money alone bends backs and ethics,
Ignoring the two way street of money and ethics,
Perhaps they have not talked to enough cynics.
And all that preaching about saving this world is retarded,
Not to mention how easily it is forgotten and discarded,
If daily survival leaves the future but a distant target,
Thus if this global warming is to be ever thwarted,
Energy self-sufficiency should not be discarded.
But the discussion lies in percentages and unspecified goals,
With those same questions repeating in the public polls,
Just stuck trying to fix those same age old potholes,
While energy self-sufficiency is a specific goal,
Thermal, wave, solar, wind; all play roles.
But nothing new on the West front,
While energy self-sufficiency remains affront,
We but shun the innovations and the technological forefront.
>Out of the three levels of the Kardashev scale,
>We haven't even begun to reach the first.
Royalty: They keep it in the family
The rumour is;
A prince dates his sister in law,
As close to incest you can get (within confines of the law).
But it makes me wonder:
Is it a result of royal inbreeding,
Combination of genes otherwise receding,
Because cousins kept on marrying and breeding?
Before it was used to keep wealth in the family,
And to produce a legal hair to the country,
So a single name runs in the memory,
To give crown some security.
But I guess some are relieved to hear it,
Even on these troubled times; royalty still fucks family!
And although they appear to seek genetic dilution,
I would still prefer the French
