A Call to Arms


“History repeats itself” maxim left on the shelf

No need for stealth just heft of greed for wealth

No mystery the majority indeed bereft in ill health


Impropriety & notoriety prism creates a schism

Entirety debunked by a flunked junk catechism 

Society sobriety shrunk by punch drunk fascism
 

Train wreck of tech titans us brassic just terrorism

Insane vortex vexes our cortexes classic botulism

Tyrannosaurus rex in vain Jurassic park tourism


Anxiety rapacious due to mendacious barbarism

Fiefdoms harbinger of doom & noxious nepotism

Not a hunch us all sunk crunch time for exorcism


Evangelist narcissist mist does persist the gist

Not a balm or spreading alms just a call to arms

In true fashion religion does ration compassion


America in flux the crux once more is Klu Klux

Ice trucks of vice blunder shoot lame ducks 

Plunder and cast asunder all about the bucks


Prioritise unity of community blunts vicious stunts

Demonise pernicious lies and their power blunts

Criticise avaricious demise that liberalism shunts


Scores of grunts from EU being treated like runts

Learn fast the answers are in the past Europe hunts

History bores are right don’t fight wars on 2 fronts
