The Beautiful People (At Patch)

The Beautiful People (At Patch)

Here’s to the beautiful people with suss;
Poetic, artistic, creative, brave,
Hetro, LBGTQIA+;
They’re the balm of humanity I crave;
A source of comfort, warm-welcome, relief;
Their congregations are an oasis
Of doubt dispellers, encouragement, belief;
A buoyant sea of supportive faces,
Attentive, thoughtful, inviting, sincere,
Calming shy strangers performing on stage;
For newcomers get priority here,
And the audience will always engage;
I felt it myself when I was brand new;
Cheers to the beautiful people; that’s YOU!

Y

Y
Elias Monk; industrialist,
And multi-billionaire,
Became a free-speech activist,
Or so he did declare,
Upon acquiring Twister Inc,
Where POTUS often stirred a stink,
Till he was banned from there,
Which, in the eyes of Monk at least,
Made Twister then a commie beast;
An echo of opinions,
In dire need of rebirth;
He gobbled it up for billions,
Far more than Twister’s worth;
And any staff who voiced concern,
Were told to leave and not return,
For he had paid the earth,
To undertake a boardroom purge,
And kill the woke-mind-virus scourge.
Meet the new boss: staff levels shrunk,
New rules were dictated,
And the old boss, dismissed by Monk,
Gained a sum inflated;
And I doubt even God knows why,
Twister’s brand name was changed to, “Y”;
Though Monk (the new boss) stated,
(Albeit, typically vaguely):
“Y” stood for Versatility,
Regarding communication
Of financial affairs;
And the vast devaluation,
Of former-Twister’s shares,
Sent-plummeting into freefall,
Appeared to vex him not at all;
The king of billionaires,
Lost forty billion, down the drain,
Yet never showed a hint of pain.
No matter: Y, now unrestrained,
Enemies broke cover;
Antagonists, fired-up, inflamed,
Ripped into each-other;
Thus Y became a battleground
From which the battered fled and found
Platforms far less rougher,
Till in the end, the further right
Outweighed the left, to Monk’s delight.
Free-speech on Y now seems to be,
Whatever Monk decides,
And those who see things differently,
He ruthlessly derides;
And parroting his every word,
(Increasingly the more absurd),
The acolytes he guides,
Remind me of the useful fools,
By Goebbels shaped for Hitler's tools.

 F

Farage’s fanatical followers
Flocked
Following fake Facebook
Fallacies flippantly forwarded
For fuckwits
Flag flying football fighters
Fell for Farage’s
Fear fraught fables
Felt fury
Fought floundering forces
Fireworks flew
Flames flared fiercely
Funeral flower folk flinched fearfully
Frog-face frets
Feels framed
Flustered
Fortunately for Farage
Florida’s fan-favourite
Fruit-faced
Future Führer
Forges fond fellowship
Fast-forward five
Finds flourishing Fararge
Fantasies fulfilled
Fronting fully fledged fascist federation
For foreseeable future
