Eric Arthur Blair

A poem from 2018

Nations rise and kingdoms fall
They fall upon the common man
The days are gone when kings led the troops into battle

One up, one down
A bleak existence
True poverty
Working every hour

Worship Mammon
Become poor
Defy Mammon
Court disaster

History fades
We forget
Past mistakes
Eradicated

All news is fake news
There is no independent source
All have a tale to tell
All have an angle to sell

Peace brings a rise in mental illness
No enemy to distract us
We turn inward
And devour our own entrails

Kingdoms rise and empires fall
They fall upon the common man
The days are come when kings throw us to the dogs
