Brave New World

 Brave New World

Once the mortuary is full
And the old folks home lies empty
Once the homeless have all perished
And there’s toilet roll aplenty
Once the food banks are no more
And the plague is in retreat
Watch the happy politician
Take the praise for its defeat
He’ll praise the bulldog spirit
He’ll make mention of the blitz
He’ll say that in his brave new world
The vulnerable don’t fit
And many folk will raise a glass
And many folk will cheer
And other folk will realise
That Fascism is here
