Its not the fires,<\/p>\n
not the bugs,<\/p>\n
not the decent into<\/p>\n
derision over what was.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Its not the virus,<\/p>\n
not the snakes.<\/p>\n
Its the smoke infested soot,<\/p>\n
that makes these hoodies debase.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Its not the hunger,<\/p>\n
not the thirst.<\/p>\n
Not the lack of glucose,<\/p>\n
that’ll bring the hearst.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It was the noise,<\/p>\n
the shaking and wobble.<\/p>\n
That’s when my heart,<\/p>\n
fell apart on the double.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I knew it true,<\/p>\n
I knew it fact.<\/p>\n
I knew there was no,<\/p>\n
going back.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Eight more years,<\/p>\n
of relative peace.<\/p>\n
Then it starts in earnest,<\/p>\n
the greatest fear of our race.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Too much smiling.<\/p>\n
Synonyming away.<\/p>\n
Too many frowns,<\/p>\n
today today today.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Twenty two of nine you say,<\/p>\n
today’s when markets bounce away.<\/p>\n
Twenty twenty one today,<\/p>\n
So start seeing clearly – were all going to pay.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Nostradamus had his say,<\/p>\n
Now Costradamus might have his day.<\/p>\n
Sure I’ll be there near the shore,<\/p>\n
as the coastal lines get all redrawn.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Moving from,<\/p>\n
ship to shore.<\/p>\n
Beach head tactics,<\/p>\n
are much adored.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Sitting aside,<\/p>\n
the river bank.<\/p>\n
i’ll be sipping gently,<\/p>\n
refilling the tank.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Knowing that,<\/p>\n
when someone comes.<\/p>\n
with shiny gold,<\/p>\n
that they often does.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I’ll use it to,<\/p>\n
shape a mirror.<\/p>\n
And show all the horror’s,<\/p>\n
Contained withinya.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
You put the value,<\/p>\n
on that image you see.<\/p>\n
For that is the price,<\/p>\n
that my eyes must see.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Now double it for<\/p>\n
making a sound.<\/p>\n
Triple it if,<\/p>\n
I smell you come round.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Quad triple it if,<\/p>\n
you make me feel bad.<\/p>\n
After its all said,<\/p>\n
and then I feel bad.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Quint triple please,<\/p>\n
if the so called deeds.<\/p>\n
Are not done to impress,<\/p>\n
or extends our good rest.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
So hows that,<\/p>\n
for a SLA.<\/p>\n
One that makes you,<\/p>\n
pay pay pay.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Not fractional returns,<\/p>\n
on a loyalty play.<\/p>\n
Complaints that are falling,<\/p>\n
on deaf ears all day.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
After all,<\/p>\n
its what’s NOT being said.<\/p>\n
That’ll make you worry,<\/p>\n
from fears’o the esquire’ed.<\/p>\n
