Gaily Gabble Gehenna.<\/p>\n

Hype Holy Hate.<\/p>\n

Ignorantly Idolise Illusion.<\/p>\n

Justify Judgmental Jargon.<\/p>\n

Knowingly Kindle Kulturkampf.<\/p>\n

Lambaste Liberal Learning.<\/p>\n

Machiavellian Mind Moulding.<\/p>\n

Narrate Nescient Nostrum.<\/p>\n

Obligatory Obnoxious Obfuscation.<\/p>\n

Peremptory Pestiferous Panjandrum.<\/p>\n

Quickly Quell Querists.<\/p>\n

Redundant Reactionary Rants.<\/p>\n

Suppress Scholastic Scepticism.<\/p>\n

Totally Trammel Tolerance.<\/p>\n

Ululate Useless Utterances.<\/p>\n

Vaticinate Vicious Vengeance.<\/p>\n

Wailing Wearisome Waffle.<\/p>\n

Extol Excessive Exaltation.<\/p>\n

Y? Y? Y?<\/p>\n

Zany Zealous Zealots.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow’s World!<\/h2>\n

See the fat cat’s grinning smile<\/p>\n

as Corporate Capitalism runs amok,<\/p>\n

Chasing profit as it goes<\/p>\n

firing millions of ordinary folk.<\/p>\n

Raping and polluting land after land,<\/p>\n

starting bloody wars.<\/p>\n

Toxic waste, sweat shop wages<\/p>\n

and oil covered sea shores.<\/p>\n

Where have all the flowers gone<\/p>\n

beneath this ozone free sky?<\/p>\n

To join the birds, to join the fox<\/p>\n

on yonder plutonium field to die.<\/p>\n

Mercury fish, strontium lamb<\/p>\n

trees that never show a leaf,<\/p>\n

radio active beaches, toxic streams<\/p>\n

good lean BSE-antibiotic beef.<\/p>\n

In a world of epidemic, plague and famine<\/p>\n

it’s bottled water and chemical food.<\/p>\n

Of course, it’s all tested on rats and mice<\/p>\n

so you know its got to be good.<\/p>\n

Beneath a sky that’s always black,<\/p>\n

hurricane winds and endless drought,<\/p>\n

its oxygen masks for the toxic air,<\/p>\n

corporate profit’s what its all about.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Ours to Try<\/h2>\n

Our self-respect<\/p>\n

bids us try<\/p>\n

create a world<\/p>\n

they deny,<\/p>\n

to point the finger<\/p>\n

to stand, be counted,<\/p>\n

no bending knee<\/p>\n

to those mock anointed.<\/p>\n

Ignore with dignity<\/p>\n

the puny carrot bribe,<\/p>\n

rise above<\/p>\n

the scurrilous diatribe.<\/p>\n

Knowing the force<\/p>\n

of their brutal stick<\/p>\n

still refuse<\/p>\n

their boots to lick,<\/p>\n

hold dear<\/p>\n

our heart's decree<\/p>\n

all men equal<\/p>\n

all men free.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
