Blinded

Posted on 05/10/202505/22/2025 by admin

You’ve raised discourse to heights of pomposity
Discussions discussed peppered with animosity.
More targets painted on the immigrants’ backs
Small boats, a tidal wave, you given to hacks,
Who repeat these lies and your grandiose schemes
Inflating hate whilst you preen,
Another dead cat story that you fling
Hiding the attacks on society to which you cling.
Pegging an ideology bound in deceit
Watching the blinded fall at your feet,
To worship and eat all those honeyed words
A desperate absurdity beyond absurd.
How to counteract this far right mess
As the bodies mount with arms outstretched,
Clamouring for help as poverty bites
Instead of being fed on rhetoric’s shite.
A fairer society, equal and uncursed.
Instead of languishing in the wealthy’s purse.
That one percent counting their blood red coins,
From the tax breaks which they purloined.
Engineering a hate filled kleptocracy,
The final bastardisation of democracy.
