State Of The Union

Let’s have an election Mr Putin bravely said Sadly any opponents Seem to end up dead. I want a democracy Yet I’m accused of lying But how can I help it if Opponents keep on dying. Over in Israel Mr Netanyahu Seems to take full pride As his sanctioned terrorists Carry out their genocide. They seem rather unwilling To look at facts and learn From that known old adage A trod on worm will turn. Over in America it appears Democracy will take a thump As masses mass to support The apparently senile Trump. The Champion of the West Coming under world fire For falling under the spell Of a convicted fraud and liar Our local ruling hypocrites Intend to raise their pay As the necessity for food banks Increases each passing day. Sunak boasts thing are improving But doesn’t seem to understand His was the party in power That brought chaos to this land. Over the world people starve As world temperature rise Essential polar ice caps Inexorably decrease in size. Nobody really much cares About the catastrophe ahead Why worry about events due Long after they’ll be dead.
