An old practice/trial sketch

I had forgotten about this sketch. I did it some time ago when I was practising to get back in to the swing of sketching, and didn't think anything of it at the time, but now ... it's not too bad, a bit empty or thin, but I've decided it is OK to post.

The pecking order

Look at you - you contemptible nothing,
puffing your chest as if
your vain imaginings were real
outside your mind. 

You follow all the formulas
- hair just so,
- tie or shoulder pads just so
- suit colour just so,
ready to pass on
- nay, enforce!
the trite pomposities
- the superficial charades
- the gaslighting and duck shoving
- the lies and hypocrisies
of Society's Rules of
Normality and Governance. 

Nary a thought
for the carnage from
your beak
in your cage ...
Only for ... what next
- what will help YOU,
a Cage Hen amongst cage hens,
cluck and peck your way up
the factory's pecking order, 
as factory's owner looks and laughs ...

Another "FreeForm" sketch: Sunset Wheat

 

(This was done on an iPhone mini - original sketch area about 4 cm by 8 cm - using an app intended for graphs, charts, etc)
