Punch & Judy Politics ‘5 Acts’

 Act 1

I’m partial to throwing shade 

at the purgatory parade,

they shall die unpurified,

it’s Punch and Judy politics

speeches sound like limericks,  

tightly rehearsed 

by the ‘not so well versed’,

we vote them in 

for pastures new

as the opposition yell 

“He’s Behind You!”

I’ve seen better theatre

on Blackpool Pier

without the boos and jeers

 

Act 2

 

whilst the muppets in parliament 

‘playhouse’ with Mickey Mouse 

Daffy Duck takes the stand

to lecture us about future plans

they’ll gloss over the fact

society’s falling

as the ‘paid leper left’ 

come crawling

from the bog 

to applaud 

the Islamist 

who murdered 

Jews outside 

a synagogue,

ain’t it all dignified 

when the devil plays God,

 

Act 3

 

this is England!

deconstruction 

through social eruption

has never worked so effectively,

communistic machinists utilise  

the tool kit of division

to usher in their 

pythonic vision,

you’re either with them

or you’re not, those who

think their vote counts

are a product of “Tavistock” 

 

Act 4

 

the new temple will be

fashioned from the bones

of the English, 

you don’t believe me?

turn on your TV

and tell me what you see,

there’s fighting talk bolstered

behind the bewilderment 

and it’s siding with imposing forces,

mass noncompliance 

whilst building an alliance

is our only hope for pushback,

it’s a sustained attack on the facts 

disrupt, reset, reconstruct, 

Good Luck!

 

Act 5

 

slurs are spat at  

smartly 

dressed 

marionettes,

“unknot your ropes folks

it’s hanging season” 

their treason is for a reason

to split the world into regions, 

we must ride the crest 

of civil unrest

and fashion a bugle 

out of this pipe, 

those who fight

against the death 

of the west are labelled 

domestic terrorists,

enablers who favour

our decomposition

are financing the attrition
