The robotic politicians voice
coded to denial
by default
the wearing down of hearts and minds
pushing up and out for the fresh air of freedom
held down beneath a numbered existence
the plus or minus of bank accounts
the number of children being born to carry the weight of their elders old age in taxes, and scams of insurance and scams of life chances
and love is denigrated to a wilful back seat driver who no one listens to
not since the sixties did rebellion and creativity have such force for the changing of the bloated politic ruling classes
and poets? Who will listen through headphones refashioned to old fashion and claim it to be uniquely new, and who listens to poetry anyhow, retune the radio, and change the World.
