Winter Wonderland by Saira Viola
I don’t care about war or famine gay rights
race hate or the government regime.
I just want to tweep what I eat
And snap chat dozens of selfies
Force feed me with tabloid gossip
And pork panty ‘news’
Tie me down with sound bytes
Feel good quotes and offers of cheap Jimmy
Choos
Killings murders rapes and gangland robberies
Open an opium den of winner takes all celebrity
With front cover spreads for grubby
Media heads
A wild purple Winter gorging on tinsel lies
Spikes in the doorway and new borns on ice
Teenage dreams relegated to Taylor Swift memes
And suicide
Sleigh me to hell under the choral trumpet of
Christmas bells.
