Death of Democracy
You who put the mock into democracy sneer
At everything that we hold dear
No freedom of thought, all blend into one
Individuality finished, gone
No-platform those with differing views
Spread your message with more fake news
Young minds full of idealism
Chant your right-on catechism
PC comedians tell bland jokes
Fearful of offending sensitive folks
The silent majority looks on aghast
As democracy breathes its last
Pave the way for your own demise
As all are made to fit one size
Reduce the nation to degradation
Gone intellectual stimulation
PC quips fall from cafe-culture lips
Unnoticed, the despot’s dagger slips
Into the heart of chattering classes
As Pied Piper policies deceive the masses
Pseudo intelligentsia mindlessly tweet
Trendy sound bites, crass deceit
Propaganda reigns as free speech lies
Dead and buried no more to arise
At everything that we hold dear
No freedom of thought, all blend into one
Individuality finished, gone
No-platform those with differing views
Spread your message with more fake news
Young minds full of idealism
Chant your right-on catechism
PC comedians tell bland jokes
Fearful of offending sensitive folks
The silent majority looks on aghast
As democracy breathes its last
Pave the way for your own demise
As all are made to fit one size
Reduce the nation to degradation
Gone intellectual stimulation

Unnoticed, the despot’s dagger slips
Into the heart of chattering classes
As Pied Piper policies deceive the masses
Pseudo intelligentsia mindlessly tweet
Trendy sound bites, crass deceit
Propaganda reigns as free speech lies
Dead and buried no more to arise

Looks to me as thought you managed
to nail this one into the wall
Did we all buy this she-it without looking?
How did we come to fall
into this trap...what was the cheese
and why did we not see it for what it was?
And...Dude, this is happening Everywhere...
in countries all over the globe.
Divide and conquer...Ely

yup, it's sure happening in the UK at the moment. you can't say anything remotely political without some bugger being "offended" My friend in Australia says it's getting as bad there, too.
Thanks for the comment.
