Unwanted Relic To a former prime minister Get you goneYou have had your dayYour time as a manipulator of votersThat era of deceptionThat epoch of enrichment for your friendsIs nothing now but an ugly memoryYet you once more are being noticedAgain getting attentionWith your bookConcerned with your synthetic display of pietyPublished and launchedIn the landContinue reading “Still More New Thoughts”
