TICKER TAPE PARADE FOR IDIOTS


We get the government we deserve-

For all the feckless breeding rabbits
who's fecundity depends on writing
their 'autograph' every week
for their rabbit food-
Myxomatosis is too good for you

Bankers of the world, united by
edacious risk-taking who now
rake the lucrative rewards for
quelling all dissent in the Boardroom
A pair of 'Golden-Handcuffs'...should
just be that

Our Politicians-vying for our
crosses-seem to have forgotten
the assurance we used to place in
their contrivances

We will keep them in check with
toothless laws that erode further
veracious morality.

In the meanwhile,
roll out the
Ticker Tape...
We need a path
for the deification
of the asinine.

We've a General Election on May 6th...

Focused my thoughts on who the hell i'm going to vote for...the party that has made the feckless poor...even more pathetically tied to the Welfare system...and ironically made the very rich, obscenely richer...or more of the same from the Opposition party?... Honestly...if Labour get in again....i'm seriously thinking of emigrating! Luv Ells x

well,

What choices do we really have in the election Rosie?...most of it is a pack of neatly packaged lies anyway...and guess what?...Gordon Brown, finally admitted his policies under Blair had a direct result of letting the banks get away with their greedy antics!...political suicide?...I really hope so!
