The Village

A poem from 2018

They look smart in dresses, in suits and ties
But their native language is lies

Aloft and aloof they stand
Sneering at the common man

Appreciate your concern
But hope that you will burn

A democratic pretence
Always talking nonsense

Trapped inside a bubble
That’s the trouble

Talk and talk into the night
A preordained decision, ayes to the right

With weasel words they hide the truth
They deceive both old and youth

Dishonourable machinations
The Village serves its own imagination

Snouts in the trough, money talks
You cannot beat the system
Choose your leaders
But they are only puppets
Shoot one down and up pops another just the same, only much worse
And still we defend them, attack them
We petition them and it makes no difference
On it grinds, the wheel that crushes the population
