The Yosemite Sam of Nation States
Another mass shooting
on strictly come dancing?
I pick up my spectacles.
“Ooh you’re posh, we
call them glasses”.
Well raise them then
to dystopia
Gaza first, now the
Lebanon
The Yosemite Sam of
Nation States
is going off on one again.
and apart from the
odd ‘virtue signalling’ tweet
I continue with my
mundanity thinking about my morality.
“I’m going to die” (someday)
as my timeline is
flooded with pictures of those who have.
We cannot imagine
such terrors.
but they’re getting
closer.
We can’t remain
cossetted and protected forever.
Every other news
story a distraction from the reality
that there is a made-up
biblical country out there
that will take us all
down to save its own myth and legend.
Christmas is looming on the horizon again,
and only Capitalists
will gain.
You cannot help but
feel humanity’s pain
as you pull your tartan trolley round Poundland.
