A Paranoid New Year
I began the new year in my sick bed
Just been notified of a credit card fraud
My voucher-co account was hacked
Cancelled my credit card and closed my account
[image error]It’s the January Sales and Pandora’s Box is now officially open!
On the news a gunman has killed thirty-nine
Another ‘lone wolf’ following the Berlin truck massacre
Muslim fundamentalism is getting to me
Ancient belief systems warp the mind
Are we really ready for one world capitalism?
The exploiters require cheap labour to make their millions
But are putting our lives at risk by mixing us in with crazies
Looking forward to another unsafe year and more cost of living misery?
And damn the liberal elitists for championing the cause of capitalist exploitation
Our demands to be treated with respect and not to be patronised fall on deaf ears
The people know their only remaining voice is through the polls
So expect more maverick election outcomes and growing uncertainty
The People are angry. If they continue to be ignored, then what next?
I’m angry, and ill.
I’m battling a chest infection, desperately hoping I’ll be fit for major surgery in two weeks… is there irony there?
A happy New Year 2017?… more in hope than expectation.
So for me, my new year song is ‘A Song from under the Floorboards’ by Magazine.
“I am angry, I am ill and I’m as ugly as sin,
My irritability keeps me alive and kicking…” so sang Howard Devoto way back then…
It’s funny how things come around in cycles…
Like the Fall of the Roman Empire nearly two thousand years ago.
We are now living through the Fall of the Western Empire of Conceit…
As mere units of an uncaring capitalist system we are expendable.
So ‘brace! brace! for impact. Put your head between your legs and kiss your ass goodbye.
Didn’t they tell you? – there’s no evacuation policy…
BTW, my apocalyptic thriller, Devil Gate Dawn, is now available in both paperback and e-book formats from major capitalist exploiters, Amazon… happy reading!
