2024
We entered twenty-twenty-four
in vain hope it will be postwar;
one government will not deplore;
politics, rotten to the core,
despite the oath to us they swore.
In truth, the poor will get more poor;
the one percent will gain much more.
Some countries will wipe out a score;
innocents will pay dearly for.
We live in nineteen eighty-four,
the man knows us so much, much more
so fairness, we can whistle for;
sold wishes from a candy store.
The lie, all’s fair in love and war;
is such an utter total bore.
Will someone, God’s sake, take the floor
and f***ing sanity restore!
