Eating a Big Mac
not that I’ve done it
but it would be like an alien in me
and looking out the window in the city
lots of stressed up ants
is what I’d see
no more herds of Buffalo
or First People around
they’ve been shifted somewhere’s else
to reservation land
we can’t walk onto corporation land
where the MOD
is bound to be testing weapons
so its not the place to be
I feel like an alien
in many ways, I do
a poet who likes to grow it
and watch as it breaks through
the soil that first green sentinel
that beginning of new life
which I helped sort of start its growing
into this world of strife
where seas of corporate people
draw little from their labour
but fear and measly wages
and who hardly know their neighbour
money makes the world go around
but it doesn’t buy true love
nobody’s enlightened
it must come from above
going back to the big Mac
and the vile acrylamide
the French fries and the throw away society
they lied
morality, humility, futility, they say
profit when the losses are clearly
here to stay
margins when the torrents in fact then fill
our life
profits when the losses to our community are rife
when puppets head the government
and the puppet masters hang
on knotted ropes back staging us
listen for the bang
this is when they bring
us all down
to our knees in fact
we cannot ever have our fling
and how do they react
with fluoride in our water
our precious H20
has rat poison now added
so our precious teeth won’t go
Monsatan has their Roundup
Dupont and syngenta
and all the others corporate creeps
with a very big soft centre
then excellence set up
to reward servants of the state
who do what they are told to do
and never arrive late
the forests they have been chopped down
for Palm oil and beyond
ranchers getting bigger
we all know we’ve been conned
wolves have all been murdered
bears too got the nod
wild animals have been hunted
and now hanker close to god
the police that were there to serve us
what we feel is they
are ready to cook us up and fast
and serve us up each day
freedom that’s an expletive
in this day and age
where dictatorships are promulgated
and democracies off the page
its like the strangest merry go round
created by such shite
they call themselves our leaders
but they are quick to bite
muzzle them we could do that
but they are up to that
now the new world order
tell us exactly where we are at
9 eleven stomp up the fear
the Patriot act was never clear
now its clearly washed away
and FEMA camps are here to stay
Revolution is on the cards
but then all of those riot guards
are out there waiting in the wings
for the fat lady, who still sings
and coming back to the Big Mac
and GM foods how they attack
our immune systems and the honey Bees
and the fracking water to our knees
and fukashima radiating
and a few people concentrating
rainforests all coming down
Palm oil that’s the new kid in town
canned hunting taking out the best
ivory, sharks fins,
I don’t jest
the planet’s reeling on its axis
and most of us have epistaxix
poisoned from the radiation
and arsenic formaldeyde vaccination.
