Molten Cold

 

he bought the propaganda
so now he lurks in a fetid stinking trench
and he requires revenge
because he bought the propaganda
so now he lurks in a fetid stinking trench..

fears incandescent lap and lick
the infinite rage sine wave
hate self-hate press here for here
the thumping arrowhead rotates..

arrived unbidden and poleaxed him
the unvarnished truth the truth
the nods the whispers
the shocking revelations correlated
a consoling hand on his shoulder
yeah i believed all that too..

to the hollow marching drum beat
where suspended disbelief once cheerily swilrled
the lies self-entangling unforgiving confining
caress cold the molten man..

amid mundane conversation and gallows humour 
the attriting 
matter-of-fact shell-shocked grief-stricken
ice floes collide a mountain collapse
frazzled senses lacquer the frying balm..

no..
so should we be here at all..
…so why are we..
oh.

he bought the propaganda
so now he lurks in a fetid stinking trench
and he requires revenge
because he bought the propaganda
so now he lurks a fetid stinking trench..

Election Senryu

 
soon that time again
the uniparty needs you
although they do not..

To The Termination Of The Termites

 
naysayers..
until quite recently naysayers believed
that to annihilate most of the useless eaters
is over-ambitious
a pipe dream
though the proposition delicious
could never be realistically achieved
yet now what do we witness..

only the other day
one such friend said to me
i was wrong
i doubted
but now I can clearly see how this is playing out
a left hook then a right
then an upper-cut
pummelled to soft oblivion
slowly then all at once attriting to cinders
convolved with their tv dinners
all met with hardly any resistance..

well i put my arm around my dear friend and smiled
wait and see what will play out next and next
though you have probably guessed
you will laugh how easy it will be
honestly
even i have been delightedly surprised
by how little push-back there has been
though we give them the heads-up each time
they still have no mind to construe
so that will be for them to rue..

my friend nodded
for it seems to me
they are all so worn out
only passively waiting and even willing their very demise
moths around blown lights
so let us raise our glasses to the final victory
a toast
to the termination of the termites..

Forgive The Forgetful Commentariat

 

how very animated and engaged
the bbc and the rest of the mainstream are..
about the post office inquiry
so very sceptical the talking heads sidebar
about how so many former executives
had their collective memory shredded and deleted and wiped
for none of them seem to recall much of anything
and how loudly the disgusted so courageously opine
that none of this seems remotely believable or right..

and yet
these very same mainstream journalists and satirists
and all the other highly upstanding commentariat elites
none of them have an inkling who green-lit/ enabled/ assisted savile
and his highly protected and sick ocg
kept so very industrious over decades
kept so busy abusing and procuring
countless starry-eyed and vulnerable children
innocents lured to the old bbc hq in shepherds bush
saving children for a certain child-line pipeline
all in the line of duty of course..

for decade after decade after decade
happening right in front of all their forensic eyes
even after he mockingly stated the quiet bit out loud
for more than one time this pied piper piped..

should we give them all the bafta
posthumously he fixed it for..
and to this day
silence to eleven
what are barn doors good for..

so no need for any police raids and arrests
let alone a real comprehensive inquiry
or justice and compensation for the victims
the paedo elites also need to scrape a living
so forgive the forgetful
it was all such a long time ago
have they not got news for you now or ever
antiques sideshow..

oh before i forget
rest in peace jill dando
probably entirely unconnected
not sure why i even mentioned it..
