INDUSTRIALISED & GLOBALISED
Incorporated Slaughter
The war on Terror
A war that never ends
and pays great dividends
to the shareholders
of Global Murder
The hostile takeover
Privilege and power
… never to yield
This world … an
industrialised battlefield
Angels Strike up the Band
Why the tears my dear friend?
Fear and trepidation
throughout the land
The future is coming down fast
Those good times
they just couldn’t last
A world of disorder hitting the fan
I Just Don’t Care
I just don’t care
who you follow
the stuff that you say
and what you think
that you know
I’ve driven that hectic
and manic traffic
from somewhere
way down below
And I’ve heard
the gentle whisper
that roared
through my very soul
Citizen Zen One
Welcome. I am Citizen Zen One, of
the Collective Cyber Consciousness.
Happy to greet you😁You may make a selection from my menu below ⬇️
Sunshine Mandala
Mr. Fire-ring Philanthropy
of the Wall Street Diddle
and effluent magnate
of all things plastic
that float upon the sea …
to whom do you compare?
31 million light years away
in the centrifugal centre
of the Whirlpool Galaxy
lies a hungry black hole
All stardust to recycle
somewhere way past
the Milky Way’s middle
No Exits ~ Exist On
NO EXITS ~ EXIST ON
In the car park
of a stark oblivion
best to leave
your engine running
Don’t plug the spark
Don’t phone it home
all on your own
in the brooding dark
If you’ve got the app
of a beating heart
with an overflowing cup
don’t text it to the exit
like some Brexit
lost in transit
with Boris in the forest
So therefore go forth
and Sexit up …
if you really must
