The KKK Is With Us
The movement is designed to create a real brotherhood among men who are akin in race, belief, spirit, character, interest, and purpose. From The Klansman’s Manual 1925.
Klansmen are dedicated to the principle that America shall be made American through the promulgation of American doctrines, the dissemination of American ideals, the creation of wholesome American sentiment, the preservation of American institutions. Loc. cit.
O dear!
The Ku Klux Klan is born again
Just look at what is happening in Australia
Anti-immigration rings around our heavens
Three jeers for migrants
Contempt, anger, disdain, scorn
Fictitious blame for the housing shortage
An arrant lie
Christian identity and morality only
Mockery of the hijab
Derision of a non Australian religion
Klan-like patriotism
A compulsory test
An inquisition on knowledge of Australian ways
Look now at the sudden changes
Nativism, white supremacy and racial discrimination
Golden incentives for popularity
Respect for a monolith now blooms like poison ivy
Deceived mobs are marching in the streets
It’s on again and all we can say is God bless America
Untenable Fame
Just look at that enthusiastic rabble
So many of them
Beguiled by pie in the sky with no recipe
No evidence to support promises
And tinctured with hatred
Just look at the mob rallying around the liar
They are so gullible
Beguiled by changes in the moon
So many of them
Flocking like flies to raw meat
Thinking to change the world with gibberish
Meaningless chatter disguised as policy
Nonsense disguised as politics
So rally round a different flag please
Dismember the dissembler
Reveal the power of truth
Of authentication
Of testimony
Of proof
Let the rabble sink in its own fallacious existence
Its own demise
Brought about by integrity
By probity
By civic virtue
By altruism
And by statesmanship
See then how they crumble
How the reality of their far right schemes explodes
And turns into lessons learned by vulnerable mankind
Monoculture Shame
Hey there note well
The messenger from Hell
A kind of voluble vulture
Preaching monoculture
If she has her way
We’ll know utter dismay
If done in the past as time moved on
Many bold dreams would now be gone
To avoid a life that is hollow
Please look at the words that follow
It’s written in the sands
We owe so much to other lands
Our word typhoon comes from Mandarin
Iraq gave us algebra and that is a win
Candy and coffee and alcohol are drawn from Arabic
Pal and posh from Romani can help you take a trick
For algorithm we’re indebted to Iran
For strength with judo we must thank Japan
Czechoslovakia gave us robot
And a fascist from Italy I am not
Disinformation is Russia’s lost cause
For poor defaced Gaza we’re thankful for gauze
Indonesia very kindly gave us cockatoo
While the bedlam of Palestine’s a hullabaloo
For restaurant and menu we’re indebted to France
While the waltz from Austria is a merry dance
Now a bungalow from India is from Poland spruce
For a German hamburger we find a good use
Yes so many words are a farewell to strife
Language is a touchstone of all human life
Multicultural serves our very existence
So give fascist disinformation your total resistance
Small Government Blues
Yea Yea listen today
To what that mercenary has to say
In praise of herself
Surrounded by pelf
Please take all my torments away
She is so weathy
Egotistical and stealthy
Acts like a witch
To make herself rich
Please take all my torments away
Minimal state intervention
Is her sinister intention
Small government is her pitch
To make her cronies rich
Please take all my torments away
Note well her evil plan
To privatise with elan
To follow Musk’s chainsaw inversion
To ceate a bulldozer diversion
Please take all my torments away
So this is her devious scheme
To promote her selfish dream
As one nation receives an ovation
Derived from people’s privation
Please take all my torments away
Please take all my torments away
Please take all my torments away
Purpose Driven Merch
O I am poor
And old what’s more
But so many things confound me
Wrought by fools around me
Hatred exists for the foreign fraternity
Condemned to suffer throughout eternity
Rich dinosaurs have so much power
They turn the news into a witching hour
Oligarchs, plutocrats, the 1%
Now regard politics as heaven sent
They foster morons with ability remote
So that other nincompoops will give them their vote
The military industrial complex is blooming
Which means war is constantly looming
The media too is so unilateral
It turns every circle into a quadrilateral
Lies, lies, lies are theirs for the telling
And our lovely rain forest is ripe for the felling
There you see, so many things
Are the reason the choir of displeasure sings
You have to act
And that’s a fact
Poor and weak as you are
On the road of virtue you can still go far
