POLITICAL POEM

Here we are,
Residents of the United States of Blair,
Our every move dictated to,

nannied, surveyed,
Feeding on a diet of mixed messages
and alcopop.

Our minds washed dirty
by soap operas
and reality TV,

Fearful of both neighbours and strangers,
our lives polluted
by noise and exhaust fumes,

our brains fried to a crisp
by microwaves.
And do we complain?

No,
we keep a stiff upper lip,
we fight each other in schools,

and outside nightclubs,
We rage on roads like
car clogged arteries,

In our PC isolation we anihalate baddies
and crash cars
in the name of fun,

We are the alien nation,
disconnected,
kidding ourselves we are free....
