Poetry Contest Description
One poem per poet on their view of current politics
Welcome to Cloud Cuckoo Land
No-one explained what Brexit meant
Yet they got the voters consent,
Now they are in such confusion
Ideas are spreading in profusion.
Brexit means Brexit
Do we agree?
Leave Europe and we'll be free.
A hard brexit will cause disaster,
Especially if we leave faster,
We need to trade if we are to thrive,
Interim agreements hard to contrive,
Brexit means Brexit
Do we agree?
Leave Europe and we'll be free.
If all European workers left,
The economy would be bereft.
Few nurses to help us when ill,
Fruit will be unpicked still.
Brexit means Brexit
Do we agree?
Leave Europe and we'll be free.
Every lorry will have to be checked
The WTO tarriff must be correct.
Holidays in Europe will be more pricey,
Retirement in the sun much more dicey
Brexit means Brexit
Do we agree?
Leave Europe and we'll be free.
We'll be free to import GM food;
And reduce health and safety, will that be good?
Human rights treaty to be forsaken
Changes by the government, if I'm not mistaken
Brexit means Brexit
Do we agree?
Leave Europe and we'll be free.
Free of the yolk of this multiple state
But who will we trade with, who is our mate?
Our empire is a thing of the past,
New alliance were meant to last.
Brexit means Brexit
Do we agree?
Leave Europe and we'll be free.
We've been great within Europe for forty years
Why should we change it with spurious fears.
It is not too late to retract our leaving
Please do it now to save grieving.
Brexit means Brexit
Do we agree?
Leave Europe and we'll be free.

As the World turns
look East they chanted
look East, look East
and they did
the vanquished was lavish
in their achievements
hail sons of the Rising Sun
work hard o' children of toil
till the land
cut the hills to make plantations
sully the water
who cares, they are for monkeys
what...you need that for survival
monkeys or humans
choose....
oh look the money's coming
ker ching ...ker ching
lets spend it on a ship
an old used one
that will never sink
the rest of the money is mine
give us money more money
wait.. lure an investment, more investments
look further ...look
hah!
the land of the sickle and hammer
now merely seeing stars
once thought lowly
now together we make money
money money money
must be funny for them
with more money
than that could feed the poor
for years
in the jungle of Borneo.

ABC's of the Corporate Politics
An American dream
Buried inside a third world mind
Captioning the imagery with a
Delusion of leadership and protection,
Emphasised to rule over the
Free world.
Genocides
Happening
In front of your eyes but a
Jester steals the show.
"Kill or be killed?" NO!!!
"Love to be loved"
Men and Women
Nations to Nations
Organised and brainwashed to
Penetrate realism to an idealism.
Questions unanswered,
Rebellions unacknowledged,
Silence is the solution in the
Top management.
Unscripted acts become
Violence in the facts.
Whites turn into a
Xanthic shade when it's printed.
You won't find the difference even when you
Zoomed it in with a microscope.

The World is Just Fine
The world? The world is just fine
It was never yours or mine
We had it just on rental
Despite us acting mental
I’m for Brexit, I’m for Trump
Hilary Clintons a crooked hump
I’d vote Clinton in with ease
Trump is like mad cow disease
Fascists to the left, fascists to the right
ANTIFA is talking shite
Republycans and Democraps
Mexican wall made with tortilla wraps
Healthcare just a windpipe dream
I’ve got mine, fuck your team
Blame the rich, fuck the poor
Take a Belsen guided tour
Care not a jot
Just don’t get caught
The rich elite are lifelong friends
Corporate lawyers make lives end
Bombing brown folks, just a game
Hating white folks, just the same
I’m for torture and Jihad
I’m for nuking old Baghdad
Kim Jon Un just has to die
Shoot anyone for asking why
Ignorant people with stupid faces
Everyone are basket cases
We are a species of distinction
The final solution; total extinction
It should all matter to me and you
We are mankind and we don’t have a fuckin clue
Zeitgeist two thousand and seventeen
Distribution of wealth blatantly obscene
The one percent just keep on cheering
As long as the 99ers don't start interfering
Preaching a paradigm is the only choice
Treated as sub-humans lacking a voice
Reported like the angry uneducated masses
Lacked the resources for those private classes
Class system is corruptive systemic
Dead ideas infiltrating cells carcinogenic
A redistribution of worth and eclectic ideas
Share our inadequacies faith and our fears
Make it all so simple like we care
Ignore dark capitalism that is haunting there
So many nations, these nations divided
The peace and love comments derided
Hug your sister and your brother
We are all connected soon discover
Wasted opinions and tedious hate
Hope that love will just resonate
Zeitgeist two thousand and 17 nation
Who do you blame for the radicalisation
Is it perhaps twisted foreign policies
Or the greed of corporations amassing bare peas

Chillin
Like a Villain
No Heroes - Just
Calculating Zeroes
Least from the Get-Go
Nothing but a No-Go
Us? Napping?
Nope - never happened
Rope-a-Dope?
That’s for House Trapping
Like Mumble Rapping
Every bit a non-thought needless
Don’t need this
Moral Affairs equate Shady Business
Wherein all blame is leveled on Obama Cares
That makes for Trump-type Scares
Like Mainframe Be’wares
Like those Weakened Geeks that
Hillary seeks. The Ones Hillary sought
The Ones Bernie caught,
Searched for
From the Beaches to the
Mountain Peaks
Masters@Baiting ‘til they
Shaft leaked
Now it’s
Front(s) to The Wind
Like the Win that got gone
Like it was never there
Like 2020 visions, they’ll be
Spooks everywhere
Except the Nonexistent Ones
When one goes to view -
Because Nonexistent Standards
They’ll be The Ones 2-see-through

State of 2017 and Beyond
Just like a deadly poison that cannot be stopped.
We are taking steps backwards and into a dark age.
The status of this world and country just dropped.
There is hidden hopelessness, sadness, anger and rage
Threatening to come out. It has erased every stride
We have taken forward and into the shining light.
We should never have to think that people have lied
And said that years ahead are better when the fight
Is not getting easier. The work my parents’ generation
Did has been undone and buried away into history.
This destruction will bring this world and nation
Down to its knee. That is what hell and its blistery
Ways will bring. Chaos and misery, but there
Might be some unity in there somewhere.
