“The State of Things”

Mass misinformation fuelling simple-minded misdirection

A few spew fake news, no care for facts, let alone correction

Teens without dreams take life, Tories closed youth ‘Connexions’

Beware fair mental health-care, a sentence becomes a section

A realm whose wealth stems from “exploring” other’s lands

England’s global-migration omitted from the discussion at hand

No care for accountability, it appears Empire wasn’t planned

Be grateful for the commonwealth, Britain is your motherland

Bigwigs herding small-folk, banking on a much grander scheme

The issue is those immigrants, God save the King and Queen

Your rage serves a purpose, how else will you be heard or seen

Why look towards establishment, the main culprits are refugees

Barrages of Farages wagging fingers at black and brown

Selective outrage in the streets, ignore the apathy of The Crown

Why be balanced and look to policy, keep anger focused to the ground

Tommy Robinson has the answers, we were lost, now we are found

Stop small boats, close our borders, enough is enough, the crowd sings

Hateful protests masquerade as care, tugging at our heartstrings

Victimhood without acknowledgement isn’t a foundation from which hope springs

Fourteen years conservative, who’s surprised by the state of things
