If You’re Not Paranoid
You Don’t Know What’s Going On In times of manufactured fear
when history wears a royal sneer
it’s hard to capture an idea
worth analysing …
The neck of culture feels the axe
while justice dangles from the racks
in Matalan & T K Max.
Is that surprising …
We all have choices. Want to be

Vague bus pass mutants trim their wick
to dreamy visions of Grace Slick,
but memories can make you sick
on waking …
Beware thoughtcrime. The fuzz will frisk
your less-than-innocent hard disk.
Are busts in cyberspace a risk

What kills the worm for those who think —
A Marxist tract? Another drink?
A book of verse? A listening shrink?
Is love enough …
A meerkat asks you to compare
the benefits of laissez-faire
while Halliburton sucks in air
and breathes pollutant …
Disasters rock the planet’s crust.
Existing protoplasm must
as meerkats come to cosmic dust.

a bus pass mutant …
