Welcome to the stage show. A true-life tale
brought to life in front of you by the mainstream news.
Where we will tell a story made up of falsehoods,
we will ignore the blood, we will ignore the death.
We will ignore the plight of bones
left just waiting for their last breath.
Still under our own breath we will say
it’s a Shakespearean tragedy
when in reality it’s more like an Orwellian fantasy
dreamt up by the sickest of the sick.
Yet still we sit back in our seats and clap
whilst the fat cats play.
All the time the clocks will continue to tick
as innocent lives wither away.
There are murmurs in the crowd,
rumblings of disapproval
but these soon get shot down,
like poor people waiting in line.
The bad actors fluff their lines
time after time, gaslighting
in the name of another war crime.
They call it a famine, but why stop there?
Let's spell it out.
A man-made famine
caused by murder and fear
only ever spells
G E N O C I D E.
Letting a whole people die
whilst we watch on
doing nothing. The tills ring
as the adverts appear.
We call them out but I’m afraid
that shouting holds no clout.
Heckling will be met with full force,
So, we are forced to sit on our hands
As others applaud. Doing nothing
is as bad as letting the curtains fall.
An outrage from backstage
but know that if we stop
selling weapons and arms,
then the rich won’t be getting a wage
and we can't have that can we?
So, we carry on, playing
pretend like everything is okay
Finally, some movement as the curtains fall,
this isn’t a stage show production after all.
It’s more like a circus where the clowns
hide their glee behind tear drop smiles.
We have stood still for months,
all the while
the innocence of a child
has been smashed as they wait in line
just fighting for survival.
But movement tastes like a bitter pill
as it is all too slow to stop innocent people
being killed. This is state supported murder
and we just tut, saying how it is
not good enough whilst still filling
out our ledgers in innocent blood.
