“I will be with you whatever”,

Blair promised in his criminal endeavour,

as he lied ‘bout Iraq,

forever wars kept on track.

Yes, welcome to “Labour Together”.

Promised “change” by Starmer, who’s dire,

Britain jumped from frying pan to fire;

he didn’t get my vote,

liars don’t float my boat,

they’ve lit their own funeral pyre.

A snake’s belly’s considerably hi...

Fucking liars, fuck the truth,

Fuck morality

Listen to them talking their sharing inane nonsense overheard but not by intention

Spreading gossip, rumour and hearsay told as solid facts getting other’s attention

“Did you hear about Gemma? She’s brazenly seeing Guy behind Steve’s back!”

“Well I heard she’s pregnant, a friend of a friend told me it’s a totally true fact!”

And so it continues sharing stories of acquaintances and supp...

It’s time to say NO!

It’s time to turn left,

To staunch the blood flow,

Of truth they’re bereft,

It’s time for the many,

To stand up to the few,

To liars ten-a-penny,

To red ties turned blue,

You’re a friend of apartheid

You’ve just lied to this nation,

You enabler of genocide,

And illegal occupation,

The targets weren’t civilian,

Your pants ar...

Liar Liar,

Soul on fire

Burn thy little heart.

From your lies

the truth must rise

or you'll feel it rip apart.

Does a lie has feet or walk 
Only liars have more than two 
Don't listen to a lie as a joke 
Then will help lies to grow 

God will ask; why do you lie? 
So get ready for God's punishment. 
Me, you, them, surely will die 
Should keep ready for last statement 

Get back soon to the early pureness 
And stop cheating creatures
Just in case you look for happiness 
Be f...

Preamble: my contribution to this week's Rhymers' theme "fire".

Wouldn’t it be easier to recognise a liar

If caught telling porkies, their pants really caught fire?

As a warped form of justice, it would be rather fun

To see a guilty con man get singed around the bum.

The value of honesty would rapidly be learned

If every untruth told led to buttocks getting burned.

P...

 Mirage

Beyond these indifferent walls

lies a second carapace,

pierced by small, green eyes

in a shimmering face.

It is not my own,

but lies are truths for actors;

they bandage wounds

when the liars rebel

while fleeing, open-mouthed,

from their savage selves.

Come the revolution

there’ll be bullet holes in the wall

and stains of brains that mattered

but didn't matter to us all

We’ll fly our flags

and burn the rich

and sing our songs

and burn the rich

and right their wrongs

and burn the rich

and take their wealth

and launder it

and to the poor 

might give a bit

but they wont know 

how much of it

we’ll...

We're all in this together,

we're here to represent you.

We will protect the NHS,

pensions, public services, free speech,

the right to protest, journalistic independence

and repair the economy.

But we must keep money

we NEED money.

Generators will not work without capital,

the magnetic pulse of the world will cease

and the crust shall become ...
