Oh Mr Activist

Listen to poem:
You talk of neo- liberalism And progressive politics They say Im left of centre Like a sort of wonky shelf Please oh Mr Activist , the Newspeak you can keep. What we need more of, is a lot more Common sense Terrorists aint freedom fighters And what the hell is Daesh Just a bunch of Idiots Who’s imaginary friend as sent them ape Please oh Mr Activist , the Newspeak you can keep. What we need more of, is a lot more Common sense As carbon really got a foot print And diversity not a dance group on a show And a honest conversation Thats not telling someone they are as ugly as their mum Please oh Mr Activist , the Newspeak you can keep What we need more of, is a lot more Common sense The voters will stop listening And turn on their television sets And start voting for a dancing dog On X factor instead. for any readers abroad diversity the name of a dance group on a uk talent show .

some lovely word play here Stephen and wouldn't it be great if they did talk common sense, not everyone will understand the 'diversity aspect and i loved the cynical humour in the final stanza:-0 hugs jan xx
