I did a poem about this subject a while ago when it was almost crippling me emotionally.

Things are different now. I'm so much better and have been for a while.

Every so often though it creeps back into my head.

This is just something I had to get out of my system....

FOMO, PART 2
----------------------
It doesn't happen as much these days
I have lots of things to keep me occupied
I have a life once again
That cannot be denied

But..every now and then
Something I would have loved to be at
If I had the time to go
Or even if I'd known

When I discover these things
I come to a stop
Stalled while it sits in my head
Moving it along is harder done than said

I guess I have to remember what I've got
And to be patient too
I will get another chance I guess
But it's a struggle to bide my time, I must confess

We always vote for the same old thing and nothing ever changes. Then we complain that nothing gets better. So, who is to blame?

Bonus points for figuring out what film I was watching when I came up with this.

CHOOSE STRIFE
--------------------------
Choose strife
Choose corruption
Choose a broken economy
Choose racism

Choose politicians who get what they want and take from the poor
Choose people to represent us who divide us and give nothing to hope for
Choose those who vote for themselves to get more and more
We choose this so it must be pain and suffering that we adore

Choose high prices and security tagged butter
Choose food banks and soup kitchens like some goddamn nutter
Choose people lining the streets because they can't afford a place to live
Choose high rents and mortgages for those who have little to give

Choose schools who can't afford things for our kids
Choose impoverished teachers who aren't paid for all they do
Choose stresses and strains that make educators run away
Choose society where quality is not for the many but for the few

Choose hospitals that are crumbling and not updated
Choose GP phonelines where you can't ever get through
Choose pandemic mismanagement and life that's ill-fated
Choose dentists that can't accept anyone new

Constantly choosing the same old s**t
Constantly expecting it all to be different
Constantly thinking we'll get better from the same old same old
Choosing poverty and cold and nothing remotely bold

Why do we choose all this?
Why don't we go for change
Why don't we pick people who care about us?
Why don't we choose those who give a damn and kick up a fuss?

We always choose the same people to represent us, then things stay the same or get worse.

Sometimes it feels like we don't want to get away from where we are.

STOCKHOLM SYNDROME
-----------------------------------------
Things always stay the same
How can you not agree?
We're all drained and so very poor
All deserving so much more

Scattered on the streets and then moved beyond
And money is a luxury now
There isn't any more food for us
And we're beaten if we make a fuss

Those we choose just take and take
We're left broken and abused
But we love those who keep us here
Stockholm syndrome - that's what is clear

We read the rags sent from the rich
We accept the pittance they give
We watch the things they want us to see
We let them gaslight us with glee

Kicked when we are down
Blood dripping down our face
Day after day after day
But we just want to stay

Is this ever going to end?
Will there be a change?
Or will we keep calm and carry on?
Taking the punches until we're gone

Inspired by an anti-fascist protest I joined on Saturday which was opposed by a basket of deplorables that featured the leader of UKIP (yes - they still exist).

RETURN OF THE BLACKSHIRTS
-------------------------------------------------
Fascists flying the flag
Route marching en masse
On their way to the square
To tell the immigrants “thou shalt not pass”

Lead by a savage in a suit
With an iron cross on his heart
Sowing seeds of division
Seeking to tear us apart

Blackshirts on the ground
Mosley would be proud
Whilst others roll in their grave
As we've lost what they sought to save

Megaphones in their hands
Shouting with all their might
Heard over the barrier of the boys in blue
Bringing their single brain cell to the fight

“Our women are r***d because of them”
“Immigrants cause all our ills”
Again and again and again and again
From those who lack the brains to pay the bills

They called me a paedo!
Oh…and we're Marxists and communists too
Labour this, Labour that
But passers by ignore and their messages fall flat

And they're always there with their cameras
For some reason they record everything
Trying to look professional with massive setups
Clearly compensating for something!

The Mosley mob have risen again
To spread their bile and hate
They have nothing better to do
Than to shout and scream and berate

But will they win their war?
The one that they've been waiting for
Or will the masses still ignore
And keep Britain great with diversity at it's core

They want a world fueled by hate
They want a land with a darker fate
Freedom gone and a fascist state
We must fight them before it's too late

We may be seeing green shoots of change here and there, but it's likely that really significant change won't be happening (or at least no time soon).

DEVILS
------------
Devils over there on the right
And more on the left in disguise
They both have the path to take
So they say, but could they be fake?

From the moment a star is born
To the multitudes around us now
They've never had so much power
Taking us to our final hour

Dark and primal forces
Some clear as day and others playing pretend
Will there be a better time
Or will this never end?

They talk of human rights
And make out they’re just like us
Toolmakers sons and protectors of laws
But they frighten the vulnerable and drive people from our shores

Then over there in the other domain
Where they want to conserve and reform and restore
Afraid of the different and the diverse
Thinking humanity is a curse

“The others will fail you, go our way”
That's what both of them always say
Red is blue and blue is a darker shade
All while hope starts to fade

Always them is what we choose
Not surprising that we always lose
Yet we all act so surprised
That the same isn't different - why haven't we realised?

Red and blue gets you purple
But all we have is brown
And now we start to fade to black
We once had colour but the devils don't want it back

Just a random idea I had where people with backwards views are compared to ancient beasts.

However, unlike the dinosaurs, these particular beasts seem to live on (either that or their ideas).

BEASTS OF BURDEN
---------------------------------
Over ancient land with grass so green
Stands columns of metal and glass
And in those columns are such foul beasts
With minds so absent and manners so crass

From olden days to modern times
With ages dead and born
Yet somehow they just stay the same
And father time is forlorn

The raging flames of monstrous beings
Their fires are the worst
They are the most savage beasts
This world is truly cursed

Such little lives and smaller minds
Evolution passed them by
Yet they still stand and spread their bile
“This shouldn't be” others decry

‘Beasts of burden’, truth be told
Adding to the woes of man
But we let their story unfold
A sorry lot, a shameful clan

Nowadays it spreads far and wide
Making more of them with a zombie brain
Stoking the fires of those with a devil inside
This sorry state drives many insane

All that burning fire and flame
From what seems eternal
We should have moved on from this
It's something so infernal

Andrew Mountbatten Windsor was arrested and then released so he can do whatever he wants while the police investigate.

There's no guarantee of justice and the arrest wasn't even for the worst of the allegations.

Given how many privileged people have escaped justice over the years, I'm not feeling hopeful at all.

HANDSY ANDY
------------------------
Handsy Andy was his name
And making 10,000 gaffes was his game
The police marched right up to the top of his hill
And then they marched him down again

And there he was - the former Duke of York
Sat right there in jail
No longer in his ivory tower
Because he's gone beyond the pale

But for now he's been released
They've unleashed the beast
Despite all of his crimes that do distress
He's free to go back to Pizza Express

Handsy Andy learned to sweat
For actions unbecoming
“This is not enough!” we do decry
Now Airmiles Andy is free to fly

On this place of kings and queens
This most sceptred isle
We have the rich not getting what is due
Still some safety for the guilded few

That happy breed of men
In an Eden built for them
Safe from infection and the hand of war
And seemingly the long arm of the law

People like Handsy Andy still out there
Making a mockery of the system at our core
A blessed realm? Just a fantasy
When we crash justice on it's rocky shore

THE RED HATS
-----------------------
Red is a sign of anger
It shows rage and fury
And it is without a doubt
A colour of those who scream and shout

Red brings on the black
And the January 6th attack
They have the orangutan’s back
Even when problems start to stack

Hats of red on the gun toting horde
Frothing at the mouth for the idiot abroad
Full of praise and slavishly kneel
For the man who fails at the art of the deal

“Make America Great Again”
Words worn by the MAGA mob
The words of Putin's puppet
That over tanned, ignorant, criminal muppet

Why don't they get it?
Why don't they see?
He is never the answer
For the so-called ‘land of the free’

Bang bang and you’re dead
From another land? You go away
Women's rights cannot be allowed
But that's ok for the red hat crowd

The red hats want anarchy in the USA
Reason? Nothing but high treason
Slaves to the will of the incoherent blob
Leaving lady liberty to go and sob

Why do they do this?
Why don't they stop to think?
They need to use their goddamn grey matter!
Or watch the depths to which their country will sink
