Drink from a disheveled
unlevelled cup
there’s no money
no loot it’s been stolen
siphoned away
By billionaires tax havens
and tax breaks.
Dread and decay
drove democracy away
corporations own us all
we live in a brand
and we are brandwashed
squashed underneath
advertising signs
that shine neon.
They will soon
charge us for peeing on
the ground while taking the piss
what year is this?
next week if we are unlucky
so plucky rebels
Pray tell us
how to change this nightmare dystopian future
where the rich eat the poor
and we can’t see further than are pants draw
because we are so blind and ignorant
we think this is bliss
but we missed the part
where the handmaids tale imitates art
as America goes back 50 years in attitudes to the past
and we screen cast
Utopian visions which aren’t going to happen
as our futures end
eaten by the kraken of capitalism.
