This C*ntry
12 years.
12 fucking years in power.
Every time I thought,
It couldn't go lower than its predecessor, it has.
From the point of calling the referendum,
The legacy of David Cameron,
Billboarding on a bus NHS plus 100 million,
Brexit means Brexit but not a government elected for it,
Theresa May, her fields of wheat,
Negotiating for this CUNTRY,
BoJo calling that snap election, and you still voting for them!!
We can keep blaming the millionaires,
But it's you fucking middle class idiots out there, you're the...

Dig in
Dig in deep, I stamp my feet;
You’re never passing me by.
Make a stand; I hate your plans,
To try to ruin my life.
Stand up tall; bring down your walls,
I have to fight for peace.
Hear my call; I hate your war,
On peoples dignity.
Your claims are false,
You raise my pulse,
With every lie you tell.
You versus us, you broke the trust,
You swore to protect our health.
You kill us all, with words that fall,
As soon as they are exposed.
You fight your war of words with the poor,
With broken promises, overload. ...

Direct Questions And Direct Answers
I have a direct question to ask the minister of national security.
What gives you the feeling that you are a better person than the ones whom you regard as criminals?
Since I do not expect you to answer the question, I will answer it for you.
Whatever label you give other people, you and your colleagues are the same thing.
I also have a direct question for other members of the government.
What makes you think there is a difference between you and the people whom you call wrongdoers?
I am certain that you will not respond to my question, so I will give you...

My Views 8
The government, the military, and the police are organizations that work together.
These organizations should find a way to do their jobs without doing the following things.
1. Embarrass innocent people,
2. Harass innocent people,
3. Intimidate innocent people,
4. Abuse innocent people physically or verbally,
5. Inconvenience innocent people,
6. Oppress innocent people,
7. Last but not least, murder innocent people.

Closéd Ignoramus of Intelligence
I used to believe that bliss was a goal
Their flagrant ignorance is said to cajole
Started by conspiracy theories
Finalizing with bullshit queries
How is it you ignore real plots around you
And focus on things that never harm true
You complain about what books are sold
Refuse admit politicians controlled
You constantly believe personal intransigence
Closed ignoramus of intelligence
When the sun goes down tomorrow
Your god will abandon all in sorrow
There’s no reality, it’s all an illusion
But you choose to add...

Fights of Fancy
Maggots are errors, dying alone; The devil comes, throat of the throne
Gasping for breath, praying to god; Remember sins, bullshit facade
Nothing exists to support your losing; Never fulfill dirty amusing
Stay allied, never look outside; Hide your fears, abide false tide
My slow-gun slogan has run its wind; Live to sing, cry up to sin
Blind and hide my soulful kind; Repeat to eat your alien mind
Fade to gray with my gavel play; Penitent heat, or so they say
Plead for mercy from hell above; Like to imagine yourself the dove

Lies
Politicians insincerely promise to do good things for the people.
Let us expose their lies!
Biologists teach us nonsense about the evolution of humans.
I say down with that lie!
Religious leaders make a dubious claim that God speaks to them.
Do not believe that lie!
The motto of the police is, “To serve, to protect, and to reassure.”
But that is a damn lie!
Archaeologists present information about prehistoric times.
Mash down that lie!
Judges and lawyers are not interested in justice and truth.
I say denounce...

HRH!
I'm a Yank so I cannot see
The point to having any monarchy
But if we must then I think you'll agree
To consider the matter most hopefully
And that every 1 will quickly see
The decency of Charlie 3.
Charlie 3! Charlie 3!
He's the king 4 U and me!
Charlie 3! Charlie 3!
He'll have a pint...or 2...or 3!
To toast the health of the BBC
Or the general aristocracy...
But after that third pint you'll see
He'll need a royal loo...2 P.

Pandora’s Box (A Humbly Response)
There are various dimensions of religion theologies, for me to name, and several religion forums for me to entertain your thoughts. However, you stated. ‘All Christians quote from the Bible’ in as much, any person who walks this planet, accepts the preference of his or her religion, and dutifully adhere to its teaching.
In addition, only in your mind, Heaven does not exist. For many, other than atheists, what or should I say who we call our Deity, is a personal choice, and to seek a higher existence is by faith.

Unfit For Daylight (Defiance Of Youth)
There is no reason not to obey
There is no reason not to obey
Don't fight the power
Don't fight the power
Under the cover of our virtue
We lie to you, we lie to you
Every time I step outside I'm dancing in the moonlight
Even though deep down inside I feel the burn of twilight
Everywhere around the world
Resistance getting stronger
Little boys and little girls
The future is getting nearer
There is a reason not to obey
Fight the power, fight the power
There is no reason not to obey
Don't fight the power
Don't fight the power
Under the cover of our virtue
We lie to you, we lie to you
Every time I step outside I'm dancing in the moonlight
Even though deep down inside I feel the burn of twilight
Everywhere around the world
Resistance getting stronger
Little boys and little girls
The future is getting nearer
There is a reason not to obey
Fight the power, fight the power

Villanelle Nr.23 — Reviewing the Queen and Us
To the discordant witch we had to say no
a long time ago as the terminators proceeded
without a hitch ’til the wee small hours and time to go
home where cold beds lay waiting for us and so
all we had to do could have succeeded
by shutting the rough sheds and saying no …
sadly naïvety piqued the flow
of consequences and firmly heeded
the lies spooked rickety minds ’til time to go
demonstrating that to keep the show
on the road one keeps language fully seeded
steeped in pageantry to test the plebs' grit to say...
