the emperor’s old clothes

 the emperor’s old clothes


erstwhile the pageant circumvents

the thought centres of our sentience 

and bids as pied piper rats that we

follow on from precedent

and bow my liege lord to lick the boots

of a man who cares but not two hoots

as we die in his slum country estates

plebeians plebeians but just your fates

so wave your flags as the gilded coach

runs over your toes and even worse

a police state now your final rights remove

down on your knees down on your luck

do you really think he cares a fuck
