The Treasury underfunds the National Health Service,
and you report that Taylor Swift, embodies
the values of Trump, while chemotherapy
drips over the ****** floor.

Norwegian police uncover more than
150 rapes and ****** assaults in Lapland,
and you tell us about another royal wedding,
another fade to white by blissful deceit.

What was once true, now no longer rebellion,
for those that struggle against the indifference of lies,
and a world of comforting illusion, that transgress the
victims soul.

Once truth was there to learn. now consent is black and white,
gender and experienced forced - a spectrum of gradual extinction,
no longer seeing things as they are - just as we are.

Seated musings of dim thoughts creeping day by day,
as Harvard professors, whose fierce words
are now confined to late night masquerades,
give you nothing to entice your mind.

Now in these solitary years, consent is left to perish,
a universe of want, as the Pope watches lifeless children
float by and the beautiful people smile.
