Greed, selfishness, propaganda, a media owned by that elite and an ignorant brainwashed population.

Catalyst for Division
There’s a catalyst for division
And he’s coming after us.
He’s spreading hate and racism
To throw us off the bus.
He’s gathering his army
They’re taking to the street.
Toting their assault rifles
Jackbooting their feet.
He’s a catalyst for hatred
Enjoying when people cower,
Wallowing in his wealth,
Loving all the power.
He’s spreading all his fake news –
A propaganda machine.
Spreading lies and put-downs,
Talking sly and mean.
He’s a catalyst for confusion,
Making people fear.
Spreading doubt like manure
So that nothing is quite clear.
He’s empowering the racists
And stirring the pot.
He wants to get elected
Giving it all he’s got.
He’s a catalyst for violence,
Orchestrating his thugs.
Treating the people
Like a bunch of mugs.
He’s building walls in minds
As well as on the ground.
Where-ever he goes
The lies they do abound.
We know what he’s about!
Time to boot him out!

Poetry – The Establishment
The Establishment
The establishment is in control
With Johnson at the helm
Feeding us enough trivia
With which to overwhelm.
Pop muzac and strictly,
Soaps and the latest fashion;
Enough to stop you thinking
Led by influencers lacking passion.
Our heroes have deserted us
For a bit-part in the game.
Wallowing in their mansions
Without a hint of shame.
With shouts of street fighting,
And won’t get fooled again,
They took us to the cleaners
And don’t feel any pain.
The revolution faded quickly –
Always the minority.
They packed away their costumes
And all went home for tea.
The times that we once fought for
Lie blowing in the wind.
Sold back to us with interest
And all its ideals binned.
The establishment has a firm grip,
Distraction is their ploy.
They keep the masses mindless.
Their world is just a toy.
From the brilliance of sharing,
The joys outside the machine
To the callous, selfish self-centredness
Of billionaire Trump the obscene!!
The establishment is back in charge
Wielding conspiracy and lies.
Stifling the opposition
Gagging all the wise.
The sheep are in a stupor,
Propaganda has them hooked.
As long as they are narcotised
It can all be overlooked.

I was thinking about the sixties rebellion, the optimism, sharing and love. We were after building a world more caring.
We made the mistake of placing our ideals in the hands of musicians – never the most intelligent or wise.
We were naïve and idealistic and easy meat. They bought us off and sold us.
They were rattled but now they’re firmly in control.
Women’s rights, the environment, civil rights and equality. Respect, peace and love.
All empty words.
The sixties is now Carnaby Street, fashion and psuedohippies.
