Gird tha' loins fer trek up north through gap
Wights shuffle int layby ta' grip tha unwary
Dinna stray far from tha chariot, look fer a trap
Check wells n inns poisoned by tha' killer fairy
Magics in tha air wi snow
Be careful how ye go
Tha wall past Leeds
Where evil deeds
Are etched in every stone
Wights shuffle int layby ta' grip tha unwary
Dinna stray far from tha chariot, look fer a trap
Check wells n inns poisoned by tha' killer fairy
Magics in tha air wi snow
Be careful how ye go
Tha wall past Leeds
Where evil deeds

Even now when we meet up we talk about it like we are PTSD survivors.
Harrowing & brilliant.

The camp guards?
Tomorrow's defendants.
Today they have power & hide behind orders.
Der Fuhrer is not immortal or even likely to live much longer as he hits a sickly 80.
There will be truly terrible stories emerging after the funeral & during the crippling court awards of damages to victims.

We are thousands of miles & years
From what they lived & knew
or so it seems
Parents & grandparents the gap widens
Lost in today
minds moving too slow
too many gaps
forgotten things
& people
to feel lost & alone
a ward
a room
of strangers kindness
to shuffle off
this mortal coil
to stay is impolite

They were hewn from rock n soul
Giants in a generation of stooped shoulders
Worn down by life
Banks, cars, mortgages meant nowt
Cash pay packets or sell tha crop
Everyone knew everyone in tha shop
Tha pub was tha centre
Church n work tha edges
Family was tha heart
Hard fists n rules
Another country

Join the military.
Take an oath.
But to some future president with a personal mission?
No.
To the country & all those who live in it to make it worth fighting for.
So, where are we now?
The most advanced military the world has ever seen as mercenaries & pirates.
A short step to junta.
Already taken.

The great experiment?
No more kings?
It's dead & buried under the weight of things
The triumph of marketing
The fetishism of commodities
Your souls weighed & found too light to matter
In Dark & shallow America
Under the neon god you made
the one to whom you prayed
For deliverance from boredom.
Amen.

The sins the thing,
to catch the weakness of the king
Shakespeare oft put
Richards, an easy butt
The joke take honour from me & my life is done.
Henry featured therefore ill uncrown him, it won't be long.
John lived a Mad world, Mad Kings, Mad composition.
I think the king is but a man, as am I.

In my winter football match days I bought Greggs pasties to hold in my hands to stay warm.
Never ate them.
Once that thermonuclear feature faded, rather like a half life, they were binned.
Terrible admission.
Yet also heart warming.
I know there are high tech gel alternatives but that baked smell!

Americas military has been built to be unstoppable.
Weapons technology is astonishing.
But war by remote?
Very different to mud & sand sacrifices he demands.
He cannot hide those bodies.
Also war on multiple fronts is draining.
Occupation?
A logistics war.
Weapons can't help.
Expect failure.

Cut out the cancer that's infected them all.
Money built up the power they share over decades.
The embracing of evil is a cancer that has rotted away the heart of democracy.
There is no cure for such an aggressive disease.
Cut it out.
Prosecute them all.
Now.
Money will protect them.
Purge them all!

Truth Anti-Social.
A generation of politicians that need purging.
Every stink bursting from that swamp he is King of needs to be revealed.
He claimed to drain the swamp.
His followers voted for the king swamp rat.
They still cannot see the evil he represents.
An evil they all are tainted by.
Trials!
