330

by the way

for the politicals

 

 

there is a global conspiracy

there are

 

just because I’m not doesn’t mean

 

let’s call one of them money

dark intentions

us and them

 

they are there

and among us

 

little conspiracies make up the big

the way a cancer spreads

 

think of your heart

turns out to be on death’s team

 

there are dark intentions

and anyway, night falls

to pervert the course of

 

justice is frequently travesty

 

shall we take the sky falling?

long rumoured

 

there’s ownership

almost always involves some theft

but soon forget about that

 

signature’s required

no need to read between the lines

 

Earth’s flat if you keep walking

edgy though

 

conspiracy’s where everything everywhere’s the same

 

blokes in charge on top

for instance

 

fossil fuel

burn everything till the air is black

 

one sea

one atmosphere

first signs of world government!

 

religion is a biggie

where fear meets wishful thinking

and everyone gets to be right

and righteous with it

burn the rest

 

everything’s at stake

 

and irony’s conspiracy

they’re laughing behind

 

fear you will

and violence do

 

let’s take the human race

I mean ourselves of course  

what creature isn’t worldwide threatened?

eat sixty billion a year last count

and that excludes the fish

because they can swim for it I guess

 

imagine unnatural disasters

like this government of ours

 

follow the money trail

but here we are

it’s the monkeys doing Shakespeare

won’t resile

not politic to

 

who has a hand in your pocket?

that’s swell

 

is/are

grammar

they want to make us speak right

onto logic next

blame the Chinese

blame the Greeks

 

there are no abstractions to trust  

 

take poverty

what was it Blake said

… ‘pity would be no more

…’

 

innocence robbed

smash clocks

kill time’s conspiracy

 

invention is the worst

and got us in this mess

ideas too big to contemplate

 

consider a stockpile of nuclear weapons

still here, there…

 

last chance to blow up the world?

never say never

not on your life

there’ll be so many more

 

forests

conspiracies of trees

and there’s life returning

as yet unrecorded

still making itself up

as we go

 

song of every bird that sings –

conspiring to survive
