It's all over
The Brenin’s bum is on the throne
The Monarchy threw it out and the sheeples grabbed the bone
So back to our wage slavery and the hour glass in the kitchen
“Hey Republican, this ain’t poetry stop yer bitchin!
We’ve got used to our King and all his bling,
You take things too seriously, it’s purely symbolic”
“Yes of a class system that creates alcoholics
“How can you accept that there are people wealthier and more powerful than you by deed of birth?”
“Because I don’t think about it dude, I want mirth”
So we just head back to twitter for our whingeing and grumbling
and continue to bemoan Boris Johnson’s bumbling.
They say that it is we who are stuck in the past
What about Kings & Queens that caused others to fast?
Their Empire & Statues are now shat on by winged birds
Protestors are carted away and treated like turds.
As if Plod hasn’t got enough on his plate
They arrest willy nilly and question the hate.
"We don’t want to see unpleasantness, you must just accept
that this is the age of austerity and you’re all in debt."
Five, ten, twenty years we’ll do it all again
“We wont allow Scotland nor Wales to be Independent d’ ya ken?”

I've been chuckling to myself in a wry sort of way, having just
been reading about the 6-figure incomes offered to certain UK footballers for the coming season. The market-forces that are
apparently not subect here to indignant criticism are relevanl elsewhere in the search to obtain "the right talent" for the job
in hand. The quality of the subsequent performance is another matter!! It is a moot point where perceived injustice becomes
resentful envy of the reality about who earns what and how in
a capitalist society in which effort and opportunity can bring
reward. I think of The Beatles as an example of that truth.
