DECAPITATED
- During 1789/1799, in dear old Paris,
- you could lose your head.
- In London 2020, I may embarrass,
- but many here have lost theirs,
- it is said.
- Now the headless lead the headed
- in matters of race and sex,
- and they are winning the counter-culture
- as those in charge whack
- the disagreeds, in fear, as cracks appear in the
- sculptured.

A LITTLE MATTER OF BRAINWASHING
- Checking my thoughts one day
- I thought I should be locked up
- and displayed
- as one of the Corid-19.
- As my thoughts kept rampaging
- I remembered a course called:
- `Unconscious Bias Training.’
- Racism, they tell me, seemed to be raging.
- It only lasts three hours and you have
- a brand-new multi-racial brain.
- (If it’s good enough for Sir Keir Starmer
- then it’s got to be good enough for me)
- Later I thought: `Does my brain need
- a coup d’état hammer.
- Nevertheless I went along.
- Much chanting and the beating of pious breasts,
- and, it looked like an exclusive white club.
- But that’s what I have been fighting all my life,
- Beelzebub.
