You lied



You Lied


So where is this ‘new’ normal you were on about homie?
The cars are choking the roads again
and the folks are all kettled on Durdle Door.
The planes are going to be back in the sky
and the horses are going to be jumping those fences
and Premier League Footballers will sleep in their sleek silk sheets once again.
America is Burning
England is Dreaming
You are both in denial you bastards.
Those who died?
Just numbers? Yeah we know
The economy is everything
and
Cummings is a cunt and Epstein didn’t kill himself
and
Prince Andrew watches Boris Johnson running around the garden
wishing that he was younger, a lot younger and slimmer and female.
Maitlis takes the night off but forgets to tell her mates.
And you will ask us to vote for you again in four years time
and we will have to forensically examine the voting paper
for any signs of anti-semitism.
That was a lie by the way Margaret Hodge.
The Prime Minister calling Muslim Women letter boxes
 and his scientists asking us to wear masks.
But all will be well when we are back to work
 and don’t have enough time to discuss with you Basic Income.
You didn’t lie
We lied to ourselves
I lied to myself
thinking, hoping and praying that there would be a 'new' normal
And George Floyd is the King in Martin Luther King Jr
R.I.P
