For the moment we just have greed, violence and lust for power. We are a stupid species!! We never seem to learn!!
Poetry – Servants of the People
Servants of the People
It’s never the people who create war,
They just die for the cause.
It’s the leaders who serve the people
Who take the applause.
Protectors of the nation,
They give their orders loud and clear
For us to die for our country
No price is too dear.
Psychotic, paranoid narcissists;
They prepare the people well.
Ratcheting up fear and propaganda
Before blowing them to hell.
They are supposed to be our servants,
Though you’d never guess.
They think they are superior
But we clear up their mess.
These grandiose leaders
Live in their opulent bubble.
Inflated opinions of themselves
With us to sort the trouble.
It’s never the people who create war,
They just die for the cause.
It’s the leaders who serve the people
Who take the applause.

Standing for high office – it’s rarely the ‘normal’ folk. It’s people with big egos, narcissists with no doubts, psychotics and sociopaths who simply do not care and paranoid maniacs who are prepared to sacrifice the world.
Why can’t we be led by people who have compassion, who really do care, who are not drunk on power or lining their own pockets. Wouldn’t the world be a lot saner and better for everyone?
No. It never is.
They believe themselves superior. They think we deserve to be where we are. They are privileged; we should be humble and know our place. They know better than us.
They think they can exploit and manipulate us. They can give us as little as possible while taking for themselves and their chums. They think they can tell us what to believe.
Their arrogance and entitlement is sickening.
Yet we elect them, support them and help inflate their egos.
That’s why the world’s a mess. That’s why there’s war.
Poetry – Body Bags
Body Bags
Hundreds of body bags loaded onto planes;
Billions of roubles explode;
Thousands of families tear apart their brains;
Psychotic masters unload.
Greed and power distort their world view
As paranoia bites deep.
The dead are just numbers
It won’t disturb their sleep.
Two million years of evolution
And still we’re insane.
Five thousand years of civilisation
Blown down the drain.
They sit inside their war room
Plotting their games.
Throwing everlasting gloom
As they stake their claims.
These are the madmen
That we place in power –
Psychotic sad men
Who turn the whole world sour!
As the body bags pile up
We never seem to learn.
Sipping from the devil’s cup
We watch the world burn.

It’s our own fault. We support this warmongering system. We place these narcissists, psychopaths and sociopaths in place. We demand action. We like ‘strong men’. We see things in black and white. We always think it is good to be strong.
We have a love of fascism.
We elect he likes of Trump, Bolsonaro, Putin and Johnson.
We like violence.
It’s time we really became civilised and stopped being primitive apes. It’s time we elected sane people!!
