The world is being run by the most despicable. All they care about is money. They think all people are expendable idiots they can manipulate and fool in order to make themselves richer and richer.
They don’t give a damn about the consequences.
Billionaires are out of control!
Standing on the Brink
Standing on the Brink
Standing on the brink,
Forsaking unity,
Staring down a precipice of hate
While they stoke up the fear.
The fascist playbook
Open at the populist page
Is seeking to enrage
Is that not clear?
Not perfectly clear?
Those who seek compassion,
Who tell the truth,
Are side-lined and thought weak
As we lurch towards the right.
Fear of foreigners
A crisis of identity
A surge towards nationalism
To keep our borders tight.
For might is right!
Right?
And we lose our humanity
As we build our walls
To keep out the strangers
No matter their need.
No understanding
Of their terrible dilemma
Of the wars, the drought
The babies to feed.
Living in the jaws of greed.
Agreed?
In a sane world
We’d address the problems,
Work together
To find a solution.
But not in selfish times,
Littered with our crimes,
We turn blind eyes.
No resolution.
No caring revolution.
Pull up the drawbridge,
Man the fortress.
Repel all boarders.
Even women and babies.
Economic migrants!
They have no claim!
Send them back to suffer
With no maybe’s!
Certainly no maybe’s.
We care for our own!
Charity starts at home!
So many of our own in need!
And the real criminals succeed!
For in truth
It’s the same robber barons
Robbing us as robbing them.
With their twisted creed!
A callous breed!
Inequality and greed
Are the root
Of this entire situation;
Misery in their wake.
As the arrogant elite
Feed off the masses,
Creating poverty and war
While we break.
And in the heat we bake.

I’m sitting here thinking about the election of Trump and growing support for greedy, selfish, lying right-wing fascists all around the world. This hypocritical, phony religious brainwashing, deployed to create a separate cultural identity, this hatred of foreigners, overt racism and callousness.
What is happening?
The world is a mess with wars and global warming, mass poverty and environmental catastrophe. The wealthy circle like sharks in a feeding frenzy, stuffing themselves on the carcass of humanity.
They don’t care.
Religion is an excuse. Always an excuse.
The wealthy love chaos and crisis. They love poverty. They can exploit, divide and profit.
Follow the money. It’s flowing into the pockets of Trump, Farage, Cameron, Sunak, May, Johnson and a hundred other fascist leaders.
When will we start working together to create solutions?
No more walls, tax loopholes and secret accounts. No more selfish, greedy, lying conmen masquerading as caring champions of the people.
Enough is more than enough.
Good and Bad
Good and Bad
Can bad things become good?
Does good come out of evil?
Can it be right that a leader
Sets out to deceive all?
Politics is a game of cards
In which the winner takes all.
But the mightiest of liars
Will some-day take a fall.
Profiteers and narcissists,
Psychopaths and self-servers.
The lunatics in charge
Always leave me nervous.
What kind of world
Are they busy creating?
Profits before people.
Votes raised through hating.
Politics is a game of cards
In which the winner takes all.
But the mightiest of liars
Will some-day take a fall.

The world is being run for profit by a bunch of people for whom compassion is a sign of weakness.
Deaf to misery they see poverty as something to be exploited, war is a handy source of profit and nature is just undeveloped cash.
The future of the planet or suffering of people is of no consequence. All they can about is their own power and wealth. They will do anything for personal gain.
Because they do not care about other people at all they can be cruel and ruthless. That is why the psychopaths, sociopaths and narcissists rise to the top. They are not distracted by considerations of others or the tragic effects of their policies. They have no remorse.
Do what I say – not what I do!!
Why do you think that the NHS, Schools, Police and other public services are in such dire straits??
It’s because they don’t have to use them! They are so rich they use private health care, private education and live in gated communities.
Let the plebs make do with the inferior stuff.
So, after 12 years of Tory cuts nothing works!! Surprise Surprise!!!
