how tall was your poppy?
or
problems with democracy 2
or
the stupid entitled find their
voice
the
stupid entitled
come
in to vote
they
have come into their own
the
ignorant
and
no respect
who
trust the hospital to cure them
who
trust the car to go
and
no!
no
one landed on the moon
or
knows the cause of drought or flood
there
never was a Holocaust
the
Nazis – who were they?
they
smell conspiracies of knowledge
the
stupid entitled
hate
anyone smarter
(that’s
just about everyone)
hate
anyone different
(and
that’s all of us)
frightened
they
watch the world going down
make
us less to be who they are
they
have a little something to add to the flames
gun
in one hand
and
herbicide
and
pesticide
chase
the living world away
and
curse
they
cast about to blame
blissful
in hate
which
is their habitat
they
wash!
and
they are always more!
so
secretly they vote
jealous
of our everything
and
mostly of our luck
the
ignorant have our attention
the
stupid entitled
they’re
scared
stand
guard
shall
we call them the neighbourhood watch?
give
this one a badge
a
football and a beer
it’s
someone wants to take my toys
and
someone tells me – ‘listen! look!’
but
‘I will never do it!’
in
every language there are such
progress
the
train wreck
shovel
it in!
‘how
did we get here?’
they’ll
never ask
but
run the thing full bore
the
truth is chocker with this type
and
you can’t say their minds are made
when
there can be no argument
accelerated
mutation –
they
forgot which story was
won’t
admit of species
no
one tells me anything
a
smirk for all learning
back
of the class
don’t
know what age it is
how
clock?
they
dare not ask
it’s
them with their ways we blame
history
thought to safely forget
in
such a place as this
greed
comes
crooks
a dirty hand
who’s
that?
all
innocence and smiles
don’t
you dare the deity
someone
is taking their something away
when
I come for them
they’re
scared
and
something sacred touches
they
wrap themselves all up in a flag
how
tiny then they are
blindly,
how cower
and
strike me dead
do
they know time will wash them away
will
rot the very fabric?
how
sharp the saw
fuel
burns
make
mine tree
and
chip it
they
are fearful
of
how they have felt
fearful
how they feel today
slip
a hand under your skirt
no
one sees
the
ignorant line up
it’s
their right
and
they always are
imagine
their no heaven
gullible,
so led
they
see a world
as
little as themselves
as
narrow
I
curse
they
curse
we’re
all cursed
they
vote for the end days
kingdom
come
for
the Golden Time
that’s
known
cause
gone
repeat
themselves
they’re
our… what was it? – I forget
and
this is the same day again
come
into their own
the
stupid entitled
the
Nazis – who were they?
there
never was a Holocaust
and
no, no one landed on the moon
or
knows the cause of drought or flood
the
forest? – where was that?
the
ignorant
and
no respect
who
trust the hospital to cure them
money
with a bank
who
know the car will go
they’re
scared
wherever
we laugh
of
our knowing and not
and
weigh the facts to reason
that
is something they can’t do
they’re
frightened
of
everything they can’t admit
they
won’t!
damn
you
they
are necessary
curse
the rights their mothers’ won
and
fathers too
jealous
of the spun world
see
the injured eyes
the
stupid entitled find their voice
they
have nothing to say
they
vote
no
use bemoaning
we
can too
once
they held a blade in hand
once
they were emperor, king
Conspiracies of knowledge indeed. Nobody likes a smart arse, whether they’re right or not...
ReplyDeletenot sure what you mean, Stuart?
ReplyDeleteOh sorry I liked and read that line as being about dumbing down and society developing a distrust of experts (whoever they may be). Have I got the wrong end of the stick there?
ReplyDeleteno, that's definitely in the topic range ... distrust of experts yes and the evil the self-entitled ignorant can do because they have an opinion too
