Malarkey

he was making so much turbulence that he needed windbreaker trousers his farting more than gas from cheeks but a fluid blown attack on decency and common sense in torrential times full of ..it he let go off all inhibition and called himself the master of buzz rose in the polls floated on hot air mixed with the debris of foul thoughts but no sweet talking diluted the fact that indigestion or flatulence amounted to piles of insufferable hatred and contempt and the dung heap of his rancid utterances were never far from the bum end of reason semantics may cover up irritating smells rhetoric designs unpalatable euphemisms distinguished figures of speech propaganda pretend to be perfume instead of vile stench but ablutions in dereliction of dubious duty corrupt even the meaning of four-letter words when the revolution came and solid walls of social injustice were filled with excrement racist homophobic sexist slurs and other malfunctions of power and marginalization they gave him the benefit of benevolent doubt inserted a plug into his mouth and his anus gave him gloves loo roll and disinfectant made him a senior lavatory attendant and the chance for redemption as sluice sink for his and his followers’ self-righteous stench when conscience becomes one major fart a diet of reason and equity will rebalance who is the latrine and who cleans the mess 29th September 2021
