Don't Ever Vote For Lowe

Don’t Ever Vote For Lowe

Never fall for Reform

Or Restore’s bald lies

Don’t be led astray by Advance

For the friends of Reform

And those other guys

Are schemers of the tunes of their dance

If populists win

For coterie gain

Will your means be tossed and blown

Don’t vote, don’t vote

For Habib, or Farage

And don’t ever vote for Lowe

Don’t ever vote for Lowe

Nearly all of Reform

Was in days gone by

A blue tory playing a part

Like Advance and Restore

It’s the same old lie

Austerity will tear us apart

If populists win

For coterie gain

The wealth gap will still be grown

Don’t vote, don’t vote

For Habib, or Farage

And don’t ever vote for Lowe

Don’t ever vote for Lowe

Spot The Difference

Spot the Difference

Wherever we’re born is an accident;

The luckless among us condemned from birth,

To live a life term of disparagement,

Where charmed born others whose sense of self-worth

Enables the largest prison on Earth;

Open or maximum security,

Dependent on whims, and who holds the key.

Everyone’s different, so it’s been said,

But human behaviour seems much the same;

Youth the world over’s prematurely dead;

Killed by authoritarians, who came

Enforcing the cause of whatever name;

And often, the news related to you,

Is bound by and skewed to that cause’s view.

Do you remember Tiananmen Square?

The protester stood in front of a tank?

His anger in mind, I urge you: compare

To despair in Gaza or the West Bank;

And if there really is a God to thank

For your blessings, ask of him: where were you

When the bombs rained down and the missiles flew?

If a child of Palestine isn’t slain,

As a man he’ll be deemed a terrorist

By those intent on bombarding my brain,

With tripe I feel duty bound to resist;

His anger is justified I insist!

If not as much as I did yesterday,

Now there’s a minefield of things we can’t say.
