‘He’s not Churchill’

Who knew?

But then the speaker isn’t Eisenhower

Isn’t Kennedy

Biden

Either of the Bushes

Isn’t Ford

Teddy Roosevelt

Isn’t Franklin D

Or Truman

Washington

Lincoln

Isn’t even Tricky Dicky

All these men had faults

Failings

A taste for war

Uncontained sexual appetites

A disregard for the law

One should have stuck to m...

How brilliant is the light tonight

how brilliant is it

Flashes like meteors boom and bang

A festival of fireworks

Heading here and there  

How brilliant is the sky tonight

how brilliant is it

But some won’t see it

Others will  

A child points at a flashing light

And then they are in it

How deadly is the night tonight

How chillin...

If you grovel to a bully,

But no one gives a monkey’s in the warm;

The big boys’ moon mac...

Boots on the ground,

Lights in the face;

The new world order

Falls into place.

No need for laws,

No need for rules;

The mighty win,

The weakest falls.

Dictators smirk,

The tyrants grin;

No comeback now

For reigns of sin.

The truth is dead,

Long live the lies;

Justice is served

Between the eyes.

Leviathan

The senile wolf is at the door

Spewing racist chaos and hate

Howling at perceived injustice

A permanent and hostile state

See the war pigs gathering round

His rancid and disgusting trough

This is where the demons shelter

Raise their fascist banners aloft

This is now the new world order

See the storm clouds across the skies

Where the warlords and...

Here, gents, is my new golden ballroom,

where I’ll make all the ladies’ hearts zoom:

but as daily I dance,

with dear golden-balls Vance,

I doom children from womb unto tomb.
