Quangos

So many of them abound They make for a burdensome crown Worn by a government needing to be overthrown Is it time to kick all these bureaucrats Out of town? The mangling of democracy by quangos Is the new autocracy A daily cross to bear For which we have a lot of resentment and fear Straddling every aspect of now And extending even into the future These supposedly independent devils Terrorize us who try To live independently Against them we dare not blaspheme OFTED AND OFCOM and OFGEN et al Wield enormous power The bureaucrats are demi gods Who chastise and never seem to praise Tied and severely beholden To a host of unaccountable gremlins We live and breathe to always please Those unelected saints That bless us not They do as they wish With scant regard for any common sense or Legality They rampage through our lives An unstoppable machine That is of no moral use They can maim indiscriminately Controlling Rearranging Flattening Castigating They must wholesomely control our daily grind Hiding behind rhetoric They expound regeneration They lambast NIMBYS They cherish infamy They never behave like you and me The dictats of box ticking quangocrats Is a travesty for common sense and individuality This oppressive culture of domination Maligns citizenship and innate responsibility We are a public most savagely traduced When we allow a stranger to do with us as they choose
