POISON…

Global Rights

Listen now

 

so you may welcome,

your daily dose of this

Loudmouth’s lies

 

just more icing

on the cake

of their crude confessions

or like nails that nail truth’s

coffin-lid shut tight.

 

Observe,  

(“treasonous SCUM”),

 

all these grand gestures

(“Quiet, quiet, Piggy!”)

from the sickest circus in a

sad sick world

 

…and Beware

 

this loud-mouthed mendacity, its fabrications,

his posturing, how they prevaricate and proliferate,

how they hover in the air, like a poison or a promise

of worse-to-come…

 

(“A whole civilisation will die tonight.

Never to be brought back again.”) 

Contd: GLOBAL RIGHTS 

“The events of 2025 made one thing painfully clear: the world’s super-rich have not only accumulated more wealth than could ever be spent – they have also used this wealth to secure the political power to shape the rules that define our economies and govern nations and the world. As this chapter will show, the super-rich have built their political power in three main ways: by buying politics, investing in legitimizing elite power, and directly accessing institutions.

“Many billionaires are seeding a philosophy of division that spreads racial, sexist and anti-LGBTQI+ hate, and seeks to divide the working class and all others who oppose billionaire power. A range of state and religious actors in the Global North are capitalizing on this to reorient state power towards a reassertion of an often racist and sexist system that favours the wealthy, privileges men, and harms and disadvantages women and LGBTQI+ people in the name of ‘traditional’ family values.”

Oh, and then

 this loud mouthed “mountaineer”,

another old man with his dark despicable habits

who floods the air with poison and the promises

that we are all now no better than mud-creatures

dumb-thoughtless-monsters, half-human, senseless,

endlessly marauding, rapacious, repellent,

repulsive...

 

And so, the poet said:

“He rolls the executions on his tongue like berries.

He wishes he could hug them like big friends from home.”

 

(“Thank you for your attention.”)
