Tommy’s battle is in the bulge.
So much marmite in his pantry.
Celebrating, he does indulge.
Souper Choir laments in chantry.
What is this edible cement?
I’ve not the wherewithal to find.
Is it a sin not to try? Hell-bent?
To Tommy, I better be kind.
I opened the black jar with the
bright yellow lid for marmite cause
and Tommy all I saw was thee
reflected in the jar - your jaws.
I think I’ll skip the marmite here.
I need to chew on edibles
of real nutrition without fear.
Cost of marmite’s incredible.

Facts now have alternatives to fortify an elite’s status
Truth has lost its authority
Principles abandoned as minds become amorous to like-minds
Intellectual treachery
Corporations have frozen the status quo
Arrested ideology
Anti-capitalism is pretentious and treasonous
Distrust the politics, kill the new entry
Religion is a sanctuary of poverty walled by tyrants
Machiavellian weaponry
A cloaked politician claims anointment from God
Blind flock in an amen chantry
Jesus misunderstood for good for life is good
Yield to Caesar with slavery
Every system wants a piece of your livelihood
Patriotic puppetry
They invade privacy with dosages of conformism
Online artillery
I am an armoured guerilla in a humanism suicide vest
Blowing up the system
Chantry Island is very famous
There is a lighthouse
Keeping sailor's safe from
danger
Always lit up in darkness
Many years ago people lived
there
All the houses still stand
The lighthouse keeper lived there
In the huge lighthouse with family
His job was keeping the light shine
To brighten up the darkness for
ships
Keeping sailor's safe from danger
Many years ago people lived there
The empty houses still stand
Of life the life back then
An island museum now
People come to explore
The way life was back then
The lighthouse is always lit
For the sailor's to be safe
A lighthouse on Chantry island
With the history of the past.
