The Rule of Law

Rule of Law

Grease the right palms then grease ‘em some more,

Prosecutors get kicked out the door,

The rule of law was broken; done for,

By lucrative liars in ’24.

Convicted felons appeal, and walk free,

Innocent children drown in the sea,

Short selling hedge-funders buy super-yachts,

Billionaires legally raid pension pots,

Morons misguided, throw missiles galore,

At shell-shocked-shelter-seekers, on the seashore,

The rule of law was broken; done for,

By lucrative liars in ’24.

Male-chauvinist pigs decry women’s rights,

(One’s got a president’s term in his sights),

Property magnates; MPs of late,

Write manifestos of prejudice, hate,

Puppets, under an autocrat’s strings,

Enthroned, become tyrannical Kings;

Corporates bleed the public-purse dry,

Foddered employees work till they die,

Private-insurance don’t cover the bill,

For workers, unskilled, and dangerously ill;

High GDP rates don’t profit the poor,

Whilst Machiavellians, from the top drawer,

Rule over wannabe lions that roar,

In the midst of a make-believe culture war;

The rule of law was broken; done for,

By lucrative liars in ’24.

Lettuces, backed-by-minority, betray,

Bankrupt their country, then walk away

With riches, received by way of reward,

For being the worst-ever boss on the board;

A found-guilty, criminal (best not use names,

Lest I get sued for unwarranted claims),

Fascist, with racist political views,

Started a riot, declared it, “Fake news”,

Paid off a porn star he couldn’t get rid,

And was let-off till after his POTUS bid;

Swerving a fine, and maybe, jail time,

(Such was the seriousness of his crime),

His only opponent, being confused,

Very forgetful and certain to lose,

The criminal’s set for a four year encore,

Convictions quashed and forgotten, for sure;

Grease the right palms and grease ‘em some more;

Populists prosper, however hard-core:

The rule of law was broken; done for,

By lucrative liars in ’24.
