For the moment we just have greed, violence and lust for power. We are a stupid species!! We never seem to learn!!
Into the Loon’s Den!!
Out of touch Wet Rag or the Lying, Idle, Self-Serving Buffoon?
Some choice eh?
Not that it matters. The rabid looming of the Tory fascist ERG call the tune and the country is in rags.
Neither of these two really care and neither will sort the mess out. They’re both sitting pretty!
Shame the nurses can’t give a few speeches and pull in a million or two or don’t have a fancy donor to provide crates of £180 wine, or luxury houses and holidays. Shame Shame Shame.
Given Time
Given Time
We’ll all be friends again
Given time!
Though cities flattened
In unprecedented crime.
Things will change
Without sense or rhyme.
Cities restored
In softer clime.
Once again
All things will chime.
It will have all been for nothing!
Given time!!

While the politicians play their games of power using people as pawns. It’s a game where lives are just statistics. Trillions of dollars are spent killing and destroying.
For spurious reasons the politicians ruin lives.
The people are caught in the middle, manipulated, exploited and lied to.
It’s all about power and wealth though they try to convince you that it’s really about safety.
So Putin kills to liberate in an Orwellian doublethink. He’d have the Russian population believe that it is necessary as there is an existential threat.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we had one world without the stink of war and all that money could be spent on education, solving poverty, art and recreation.
I went to visit Vietnam and Cambodia recently. It clearly demonstrated to me the sheer stupidity of war – a devourer of huge resources and creator of trauma.
It’s time for the UN to step in and arrest all the leaders who resort to such barbaric evil practices.
Poetry – National Interests
National Interests
National interests always come first –
Territory, oil or eliminating threat.
Enemies require neutralising.
We have to address the national debt.
Behind our leaders are financiers
Whose business interests run the game.
They pull the strings, rig elections
Use the media to point the blame.
They like wars; wars make them rich –
All that matters is power
Soldiers are expendable,
Cities lie in ruins,
As they turn the future sour.

It’s not national interests at all, is it? It’s the interests of a small elite.
War is a big money-maker.
They sell the arms. They sell the products to rebuild.
They knock it down and build it up. Win Win.
Their shares go mad. Their wealth increases.
Who cares about the people when there’s money to be made? Who cares about the death, destruction and maimed. Pawns in the game.
The stock market runs the show. Profit is the motive.
They are dicing with death.
