His eyes were darkly darting,
as he surveyed from high.
The ivory tower that chained
the poor and the care workers
to queues at a local food bank.
——————-
He groaned as the media
attacked him. He moaned
behind the bricks at us
while smiling thinly, and
showing us whitened teeth,
which have been polished to bite.
————————
He works to get behind the
doors of power and control
and moves the pawns around,
He justifies his injustice
to preserve his right wing pride.
———————–
A prop of a government that
shows its mettle by lying,
floundering as the thousands
lay down their lives on a front
line not far off from me, as if
we were the losing side
in
a
war
