I watch the old men
Who run the world’s show;
With tails in the air,
They try this and that.
With bully-boy flab,
A conscience unpricked,
Their memory slack,
Their puny goods limp,
They slaughter at will,
Kick out at the cat;
They burp and they lark,
In packs at the swill.
I hanker for youth
To take its turn still.
As with most things having a strong source of second opinion is usually more productive than tyranny.
Having watched Trump with Mark Carney, his idiocy and verbal diarrhoea shone out. I've never wished my time away but I wish he would disappear sometime soon.
Thanks, Stephen.
...and we're told by grovelling establishment figures we should respect them!

Thank you, Uilleam and Graham. Yes, the wisdom of old men seems in short supply at the moment. The second opinion is a good point, Graham.
And thanks to all who liked this poem.
