Written by Christopher Hayes
Fluid for the lies that seem to blind us all,
From Eve’s first words that presided Adam’s dramatic fall!
History declares a form of words that ever lack true meaning,
That damn the common man’s exploitative leaning,
And floats to the top that most destructive of common canticle
That is destined to preside over many years of pointless debacle……
Wisdom’s pure invention is a lie with corrosive substance,
That inverts “Common Sense” with unbelievable nonsense,
And turns a grassy knoll into a minor insignificance.
Opinions now deluge the ordinary man’s narrow perceptions,
Turns important events into mere conspiratorial obsessions,
And if there are Flying Saucers, no-one is making any public confessions.
And still the ascent of man from ape to human is hard science fact,
Even though the evidence points to an altogether different tack;
In this no debate is allowed to stimulate the brain,
The thief of pure invention has got away with it again!
The airwaves are filled with such evolutionary fantasies,
As time and again the Creation Adversaries
Fill our heads with pure invention and outright lies!
Evolution’s darker recesses are a racists’s scientific charter,
Of favoured races and survival of the fittest order;
Words and fillips still contest the heated air,
Where shallow promises compliment such heady fare;
Home spun wisdoms grace these crowded confessions,
To condescend to wealth and the grubbiest City Professions.
Bribes for every piece of work that he can take,
The Sound Economist proposes another entertaining fake!
Ah…the vicious banter of another great debate,
Alerts the whips to reign in the most troublesome legate.
Power hangs by a single thread of this tenuous co-operation,
Where even the slightest disagreement will send it all to oblivion.
The face of power smiles at his sidekick’s whimsical observations,
On Europe, Pensions and the boundary alterations;
Yet sits like a yellow lapdog and begs for this slightest titbit,
A titular non-job, the Prime Minister’s non-sequitur Deputy;
A gun without powder, primer or bullet,
An insincere secretary, a mere political Pundit;
And as the Prompter prompts, the Puppet squeaks;
All blue rinse manifesto and Daily Mail speak.
