Crying in your Beer



Weapon should be spelt
Weep-on
for you shall die 
in the blink of an eye
or the pull of a trigger

Stab, shoot, kill, bomb
get a coupon with Groupon

Hate, loathing, 'casineb', fear
all will be well after a pint of beer

'Received Pronunciation' of another news atrocity
makes you flinch with added ferocity

Trying to understand means you have to read your history
and make your own mind up without them giving you mystery

For you must keep asking questions in this lying contest of a world
because we are coming to a time when flags will be unfurled.

Every banner black
or red, white and blue
will leave blood stains in the sand
they're coming for you

Prince Harry wants you to join him in his army
and you will follow him out of a misguided sense of loyalty

Rain, flooding, loathing, fear
all will be well after a pint of beer.

You can blame those who follow religion or God
but they just think you're a silly old sod.

So head down all humanity
they want you cowed and bowed and finally
there's always Facebook in perpetuity.
