Waiting for our Masters to Grow Up
The barbarians who lord it over us
Thunder denunciations at each other
On whether they should kneel or stand to flags or *****
And with whom they should be photographed
Some swagger in government, in suits and ties
Some swagger with buckles binding their foreheads;
Like schoolboys they compare the size of their…purchases
And bubble themselves with fawning courtiers
As ever, we workers, savers, writers, readers
Must be the grownups - unlike our leaders
