Dec 2020
I’ve been online all night
Venting but rarely contemplating the need to take a breath
And think about how precious time is
Instead you’ve riled me up
You’ve grown more suspicious to me than a Beirut explosion
The ramifications should be on a mass scale
But the consequences are like a ripple in the Pacific Ocean
Insisting “your ****” is fire
But you’re completely evil, straight up deceitful
Wait a sec
How’s that offshore account?
The one you said I should be quiet about
One of the many secrets I learnt
Since the days when you were living hand to mouth
Shhhhh, oh sorry
I must be leakier than the Panama lakes
But unlike Justin no one’s going to find out the truth
So what have you go to lose?
You’re in a position opposite to Tony Blair on the stand
Offering up lies by the mouthful
So strong I think I’ve developed dysgeusia
But I’m not part of the lap it up council
My one aim is to watch you get cancelled
Not like a Fawlty Towers joke or a Winston Churchill statue
More akin to scraping gum off the bottom of my shoe
As ruthless as Netflix axing it’s number one arrival
Even if it’s presence has a startling Glow
Life lesson
You have to make tough decisions in order to achieve ones survival
And that means getting rid of any trace of poison
Despite the scintilla affect you had on me
That resulted in my fleeting acts of jocundity
The concoction more often than not was noisome
Since I’ve learnt
Not all that glitters is gold and everything rusts eventually
But I can’t wallow in an unhealthy state of bitterness
That this social media obsession has given me
It’s all white noise like a night on the sauce
Let’s call this katzenjammer
Now I’m face to face with my worst nightmares
It’s time to show courage
Step back to look forward in total belligerence
Time travelling into the Georgia wilderness in 1972 if I have to
That’s where I’ll find the rising shoots of deliverance
