World, Cult, Hope

To and fro, complexities creation sing;
To and fro, lone bonds form coal;
To and fro, complexities, sing out and cut off hope!

The hope of order, aid, of health,
The hope of want, of strength, of land,
The hope of play, of wish, of terror-laden day.

Now rend that day, hew form, protest the wish;
And raise that wish to action lone and dire -
The wish that idiots be made wise from the Koran.

-- Leon Conrad

Until It Passes

more food for greater numbers assigned
the human position, with early
business opportunity for tears

competitors so afraid to yield,
extinct ancestors vie
to mark the maverick cattle skulls

no capability to fly, but
with stress, brain will migrate;
goodbye, new fossil in the distance

in universal seatbelt

        and

    furious absence
of searching optimism

Our People Died

Someone dies the wrong way every 7 minutes
Because 15 out of 25 people don't take exercise
Human interest changes come into effect

There is a huge appetite for life and TV shows
Someone dies the wrong way every 7 minutes
Stories that engage the full range of emotions

Dead reality pursued by minimum health
Will replace two thirds of the population
Someone dies the wrong way every 7 minutes

Final Luxury, The

Beginning to feel restless
You followed close behind the people
To the shattered windows

In the shadow of the past
I sprinted down the hall
To find out exactly what was happening

Snaking their way down the walls
The former Prime Minister and senior Tories
Leaked out of the night

undergoing ancient visitors
their early morning struck

The First Suspect

I think if there's one who had to be him,
another insect of mysterious researchers,
honeybees operating emergent wings,

stirring potential fires, compelling disorder,
who seeded blithe crops and serve tiny poached fruit
to executive bees and shivering sport-fish,

snagging the spirit with sophisticated paralysis,
it's him, it's he, the 10-fingered Motor of impersonations,
just grinding away, extracting his product.

Wrong Issues Radiating

vague ambitions in different ways offered a chance of
        escape
bring a mass audience to contemporary and relevant
        issues
flicks on the full beam radiating physicality and
        presence

most receptive to documentary or factual style
        programming
not job to lead opinion on climate change
a desperate attempt to bring inflation shattered
        economy

a long sweeping shot of shattered troops at the beach
amazing admission that it has done everything wrong
blamed policy to slash prices for bringing economy to
        its knees

a cordial invitation
