Sex scandals scream incessantlyFumbling breathless depravityStirring popular empathyMedia’s trivial recipe.News and truth lie abolishedIs our BBC still honest?Languishing in luscious lethargyMortgages paid but integritylost to an afterthoughtToday’s commentariat comments not.Musing at ministerial meanderingsBar-room badgering and banteringConcealing governmental incompetenceWhispering in gossipy confidenceResulting in little but resignationA mild muttering of indignation.Acquiescing window dressingHidden agendas constant progressing.Moghuls masquerade in many guisesManipulating their enterprisesShifting slight of hands accountingMillions mounting, thousands drowning.Distance denying food bank lifesChildren deprived of basic rightsHoused in unwanted officesSiding stranded odysseysResidences on roads to nowherePushed away by warfareArmed by welfare that doesn’t careCharge‘em for water, charge ‘em for air.Dreams decay in desperationDelusions despair in dominationLife imbalanced souls lie callousedQuietly seething spite and maliceAgainst the empty mansionsFunded by offshore factionsSunlight glints in benefactionIncurable illusionary putrefaction.Paradise papers light the nightsScratching the itch of parasitesLesions lacerating our nation’s health serviceDropping through austerity’s deepening creviceDisenfranchised, lied to, left to fend and Brexit-lessFestering wounds map the side of social justice.© Sheila Ash, 9th November 2017ashramblings
