I see a multitude
of civilisations
numbering millions.

All succumbing
to the human condition.

The ignorant bliss
of futile competition.

And the want for nothing
of the conquering
“Williams”.

The powerful knowledge
desiring
only it’s passing.

Hedonistic idolatry
rooted in poisonous soil.

Blood, sweat, and, tears
of proletariat toil.

A glorious revolution
never to happen.

Propaganda posited
in the national curriculum.

Bonfires burnt
laden with gunpowder.

Squaddies sent to die
while officers cower.

Bees upturned
in their graveyard capitulum.

Vox populi turned
by demagogue’s spit.

Creed, race, and, religion
used to divide.

Subtraction of heroes
dying inside.

And, at the very bottom
of the mountain,

ninety-nine per cent of us; covered in shit.
