  • Disillusioned people

    Disillusioned people in a disillusioned world,

    Run by corporations, where corruption is unfurled,

    Evil megalomaniacs dealing in sleaze,

    Welcome to a world of political unease.

    .......

    Conjuring deceptions, lies to which he swore,

    Blair committed treachery, by taking us to war,

    Demanding teenage conscripts, fight on foreign soil,

    Whilst ignoring all attrocities, of nations without oil.

    ..........

    Corruption is rife in the corridors of power

    The cloistered halls of Whitehall, where all scoundrels cower,

    Faceless politicians, there to air our views,

    Feeding from the profits, of the power they abuse.

    ...............

    That fateful night in Paris, where Diana lost her life,

    Was it accidental, or the murder of a wife,

    Questions go unanswered, facts remain unheard,

    Disillusioned people ... in a disillusioned world....
