Robbed by crooks

Laughed at by liars

Crushed by bigots

I am killed by greed

Killed by slyness

I am debased

Lies and smiles, detonation of values

The harassment, the hypocrisy, the media like a river of rotten fish

All poisoned like fanatics' heads

The plump chief stands on a stool

Calling everything humbug

The world around us is wrong

Only our judgments are right.

On the corners of dirty streets

Brains rot with the dirty truth

Repeating dispassionate

Agitprop slogans

Those darkened, those dull greasy faces

Darting eyes

The stench of breath

Those bent old ladies

Who have never read a thing

They believe every word

Have never chosen anything themselves

I am debased....
