  • ‘If you push that button, your ass gotta’ go’

    …what necessary force

    to protect and serve

    by pushing the big

    button

    those insecure

    calling for more security

    naturally “protect me

    save me, oh mighty one,

    say you’ll keep us safe by

    pushing the button’

    we demand the three

    minutes extra life

    before we get hit back

    on the rebound

    equal with the nihilist

    terrorist philosophy

    ‘let’s wipe em’ all out

    every last stinking one of em’

    plus family and friends

    wipe em’ all off the map

    Can you feel the flinch

    of the people’s trigger finger

    quick to revenge slow to forgive

    insecure shaved chimps

    kicked through Primark

    ready to push the button to

    save Top Gear

    ‘It’s fucking end times

    quick act’ i hear em; scream

    kill kill kill

    It’s not often that

    a relatively honest bloke

    becomes a politician, even

    less often with a chance to

    lead the country

    I find myself

    agreeing with the chorus

    most of the time

    ‘they’re all the same,

    they’re all liars

    But no

    stop!

    Corbyn seems honest

    to me

    smart, and a man who’s

    keep his word,

    and experienced with world culture

    knows how to make peace

    through communication

    He’s a poet too

    i ask, who was the last

    Tory to have a conscience

    capable of poetry?

    ‘push the button’

    what a wuss’ they cheer

    how about you pull the trigger

    of a loaded gun pointed at an

    infants face, or you’re own

    mother gets her throat cut and

    head removed in front of you

    and the infant?

    the ‘will you push the button’

    metaphor for mass murder

    typified the Tory fetish

    for drama.

    Cant be easy for a human

    being with a soul still intact

    to murder, that most sacrilegious act

    and furthermore the passive

    complacency of your

    tacit support of arms deals

    and not free school meals

    makes me sick to my stomach

    drone strikes and suicide

    bombings are equally acts of

    cowardice

    what ever happened to

    gentleman’s combat

    fencing, martial arts, chess?

    from a relatively fair

    hand to hand contest depending

    on physical strength, skill

    strategy and a sporting fair

    play to pushing buttons and

    literally swiping people off

    the map

    whatever happened to common decency?

    since the gun and the bomb and

    the nuclear chemical biological warfare

    coupled with white washed language

    of surgical strikes and precision bombing
