Colin Mitchell Williams Poet Free verse

Repeats Performance

Every senario
Every page in the historical record
Every musical score in Hollywood

Every newscast
Every front page
Every new tax
Every new price increase
Every new terrorist

Every new war
Every financial market crash
Every newly prescribed drug
Every football match

Every new beat on religious fervour
Every political answer
All the problems
And their solutions
Every new contribution

Every president, prime minister, head of state and dictator
Every starving mouth

Every new weapon
Every new massacre and atrocity
Every new oppression
Every new fashion

Every new soap opera
Every new advert
Every new theme in film
Every documentary
Every Christmas and birthday

Every car, building, chair and home
Every child and adult
Every television, computer and music centre 

Every job
Every wage packet
Every debt

Every day and every night
Every class
Every school


Every new false flag operation
Every new organisation
Every new threat
Every new technological advancement
Every new pop idol
Every new Oscar

Every new symbol
Every new convenience 
Explained away by expedience
Every new momentary thrill

Every minute and hour 
Every second
Every twist and turn
Suckled on the teat of indoctrination

Every generation

Repeats Performance

Same flag, same nation, same opinion
Same regurgitation 
Same crap
Different century
