Wake Up!
Time marches on, relentless, unstirred,
Unaware of events,
Events that might alter
The very essence of our shared realm.
The cosmic web shifts, threads anew,
Neither the present
Nor the future
Can claim certainty's helm.
A mist obscures our collective sight,
Save for a few who stand in the light.
Fed with spoonfuls of crafted tales,
Our minds shaped to fit their scales.
We wander through life's foggy veil,
Like somnambulists on a well-trodden trail.
Conditioned beings in an endless cycle,

Be My Getaway Driver
Wound up, lucid, in my American daydreams
News, sounding like high density magazines
With red, paintings, draining from the curbs
Hiring getaway drivers to just escape the burbs
Rich rain, white shirts, flying from Yacht Towers
How, we're all neighbors? Thick hedge flowers
Eyes shut, popping blue pills just to make money
Political kerosene, smelling sweeter than honey
Please, pinch me by the throat, I won't scream
Be my getaway driver, take me from this dream

Boris
Basketball player extraordinnaire
With the most uncontrollable hair
Became a zip wire butterfly
With a flag on each wing
Was a relief he didn't sing
phwa! phwa! phwa!
It was soon to be unfurled
His curious fascination with Peppa Pig World
A hobby of making buses, out of old wooden crates
And a handshake with a diplomat for nearly two minutes
The look on her face, it seemed like it was infinite
Phwa! phwa! phwa!
A Japanese kid challenged Boris in a Rugby game
Boris charged through him, left the kid nearly lame ...

The Stupid Schmucks...
The stupid schmuck philanthropist's
of the blind red states kiss the fist
formed from his gimme, grifting hand,
blind to sleight of hand dammed and scammed
by slick, quick-fired verbal twists...
Hiding agenda's hidden gists;
under feigned patriotic mists,
funding this fat-cat's thieving brand,
the stupid schmucks!
Agog with lies this grifter's dished
awed by grifting propaganda blitz,
steered by cheap glitzy rousing bands ...

Pigs
Pigs on the left
Tories on the right
What we gon’ do?
We’re gonna start a fight!
A fight between the classes
An uprising of the masses
A battle of ideology
We’ll rise from the ashes
The ashes of deprivation
Degradation
And alienation
The ashes of feudalism
Liberalism
And fascism
Oh why can’t we see beyond
All the bollocks
All the rhetoric
Why have we stopped seeking the truth
Seeking justice
Seeking equality

Pollutant Mutants
The worlds' leaders' ego's
So, so big
They forget the importance
Of the quality of human life
And respect
For the planet that feeds us
A suffering of neglect
Power hungry
Genocidal lunatics
Are disconnected from humanity
But not from their vanity
They are the pollution
The poison
The pollutant mutants
Their power
Ever dour

Whiggery!
The middle of that ugly range
known as...Political Spectrum,
is a vacant lot where we can change
the plucks of the extremist plectrum...
since extremities are not so smart,
even anatomy says so,
nor where you will espy the heart
for a more intuitive show
and some extremes are insensate,
yet still somehow chock full of pride
and when we state..."that's not so great"
our better sense soon gets denied
by witless dolts so stoked by vim
their noggin bulb remains quite dim.

Pre Order — Vote for Sale
Eeny Meeny Miny Moe
Catch the tiger by the toe
Choices parading loose
Soon you'll have to choose
Causes, reputation — I'll say
Whatever, por favor — please pay
Butter them up, promise the impossible
Cash is better, nothing is more feasible
And you ask, "Where are justice and progress?"
You play victim and demand due process
Can't afford medical bills, suffering hunger
Screaming at social media, ranting like you care
Buy One and Take a Whole Clan!
Reserve it before they sell to another one
Capture...

Good Gop, Bad Gop
If only the GOP was a force for all
ah, what miracles would they have achieved
but they squander stuff and like Satan will fall
They make up ills where there's no call at all
then bawl out loud just to cause some more grief
if only the GOP was a force for all...
Instead of the baggage that they they all haul
like the stuff of their sex-offence-in-chief
cause he squanders stuff and like Satan falls
This trump harps 'bout love but unlike St Paul
it is love of self and the things he thieves
if only the GOP was a...

Bullshit
Why is fake news?
Called fake news?
In the good ole' days
'We' used a more direct approach
It was simply called bullshit
And was oft used as a pronoun
Normally associated with certain individuals
Known for speaking untruths, aka lies
Such as 'bullshit Bob' etc
I did know someone
Who called themselves bullshit Dave
Or whatever his name was
But i kind of respected him for that
For his honesty
About his dishonesty
But then again
Maybe he was bullshitting
About being a bullshitter
Nice...
