1207

insatiable quest for indignation and umbrage

someone from Murdoch utters it

let them be nameless

let sand sweep over the lie

the big lie

most houses don’t burn down

but here we are in the ashes standing

time comes to all at last

and damn someone for that

who’s different today?

we’ll pin it on

let’s look in the mirror –

abstract grievance

stir hate

exploit anxiety

whistle up some indignation

trump umbrage

expel truth

the thing that sells is fear

and loathing is the way to that

o how inferior these others

abject in religion

let them be nameless

someone from Newscorp

whom truth set free

defiles what was vocation

lies

and cowers in the lie pretending

it’s not politics

but science, art

who can tell the mirror?

who walks through?

can you see them all

drowning in smoke?

not every house burns down

but common wealth

and decency

democracy

what’s left of

wave money at

it goes away

no one will have know it ever was

make war upon the ones we’ve wronged

burn the world

or else how smoke?

nations crumble where empires did

we’re left with borders, flags to wave

fresh fears

we live in evil times

we choke

let sand sweep over the lie

the big lie

let it all be gone

and we’ll go too

exit, pursued by fear itself

we could have been something

we really could
