Ecocide
It’s deliberate
A wasteland in three places
Diligently created
By violence
Ruthlessly
Linked to a dedicated dream of empire building
Ah Jordan River
Ah Cedar Republic
Ah Treasure of the Sea
Once shelters for family, especially children
Centres of beauty and peace
Where a walk at sunset was resounding with tranquility
Not now
Just look at those places if you dare
Destruction oozes into your awareness
No buildings standing
Instead they are ruins tangled in themselves
Where family corpses are inaccessible still
Roads are cluttered with debris
Hospitals with canvas-roofed wards
Even churches are in ruins
Why is this so?
How dare I ask such a question?
Isn’t it obvious?
Precedents are there for the noticing
Poland 1 September 1939 for example
This present situation is dire
Truth is needed
Justice too
Now it’s a call to the ICJ
Judgement now please before it is too late
Voluble Hypocrite
On A Recent Political Speech
Look at you
Reading your speech as it’s written by someone else
So negative
Defaming the government with passionate lies
With fake evidence
For a largely compliant journalistic audience
Who will support you as their masters decree
Eloquent nonsense
To gain approval from the ignorant herd of voters
I see how the words roll off your tongue
Like flies on meat
Damaging reality with decadent falsification
What can we make of you, Sir?
Why are you ambitious
Passionately so?
The answer is you have an agenda
Your mission is power
Power for your colluders
And power for yourself
Come then
Let us see the destiny you seek
No regulation of prices
No public ownership
No public spending
No taxation of the rich, only of the poor
No workplace regulation
No protectionism
Aha! That’s it then
This pretence of kindness to the common man
This emotional utopian claptrap
Would sadly court disaster for our unfortunate nation
Astroturf Icon
Look at her
That strange woman
Acting like a reject from a politburo
Mouthing policies with fake self confidence
For an audience of non thinkers
Her ignorant herd of malcontents
Who regard her as a Maria Theresa
A ruler to be
Just listen to her
She is so regal in her ignorance
Posturing
And reading a speech through magnifying glasses
That was obviously written by someone else
But what lies it boasts!
Each one a sop to Cerberus
A token of support for her rich and powerful allies
Climate change is a fake
Fossil fuels are in
Government sponsorship of them is the plan
And it’s drill baby drill.
No mention of extreme weather
No mention of wildfire
No mention of socioeconomic devastation
No compassion for refugees
No tolerance of the indigenous
No evidential support for anything
And so the sham continues
A drive to mobilise and manipulate the masses
Notice though her support is rising
Her appeal is to the nation’s misfits
But absolute power must be her vile dream forsaken
Opposition From Hell
So your political standing is diminished
Rivals are ahead of you
You must change the tide of contempt
Find a way to win lost support
Go to it then
It’s time for action
A smear campaign
Victimise aliens
Character assassination
Call your rival a liar
Dark money
Unlimited funding from secret donors
Go to it then
It’s time for action
Release concocted news to a collaborative press
Give populist solutions to the non-thinkers
Low taxes and no Net Zero
Convenient accusations or scandals
With the aid of shock locks
Or Fox Corporation or News Corp
Back to the good old days
Crony capitalism and the revolving door
Monopolies
Oligopolies
Bailouts for big concerns
Favourable industrial regulations
And externalising costs
Yes
You are a tried and true party
So believe, obey and fight
Unscrupulous Piracy
Yo Ho Ho here’s a toast in rum
Pirates are back and beating their drum
On the high seas rights are protected
But by one savage nation they are neglected
Innocent vessels travelling for kindness
Were boarded and ravaged with arrogant blindness
Violence was wrought with stark animosity
Any explanation was judged as verbosity
What an arrogant ugly assault on the free
With total disregard for the law of the sea
Note well the violence; heed the dark deeds
Far beyond tolerance the ferocity exceeds
Hijack of cargo, kidnap of crew
False justice proclaimed with a hullabaloo
Maritime robbery is the intention
On all he newsreels it gets a mention
The assaulted crew is victimised
While the reason for the assault is eulogised
The wings of justice here have no thrust
When tricksters are given a nation’s trust
Notice please the violence they exhibit
Marauding in ways all laws prohibit
Cruelty
Ferocity
Barbarity
Atrocity
Of dastardly deeds there is absolute proof
All lawyers will testify as complete truth
So now it’s time for all hands on deck
Or the ship of justice will soon be a wreck
Get thee hence robbers back to the shore
Peaceful transit is what seaways are for
