Those heavy, haughty, heady lights
Of glass and metal, red and white
Reaching hedonistic heady heights?
Going everywhere but nowhere fast
Going almost always steady, right?
Human traffic to the very last.
Inner city lost and found
Emperor’s no longer gowned
His smile has been bought by frowns
Took a vow no longer sacred
Impeached, disgraced, de-crowned
Returned to soured sender; naked.
Ask that coarse concrete cocoon
“Why is now always too soon?”
Gasped out under crescent moon
Asthma ridden apparition
Let go cele-brat-ion balloon
Burst your bubbled premonition.
Satanic mill lies derelict
Social housing? That’s for heretics.
Look what we’ve inherited!!
Show your neck and wrap the noose
From gallows sprung by rhetoric
10PM displays The News;
A righteous killing of the truth enemy.
