General alarm: the inside
of the machine is very dirty,
and although we thought
the optimum temperature reached,
still the light hasn't come on.
We assumed we were
plugged into the mains,
but the descaling procedure
has failed; the water retains
its hardness, and because we're not
correctly positioned, we have to adj...

An Airshow Progressive
The Farnborough Airshow is much more than that. It is one of the countries largest Arms Fairs. The deals are made beyond the public gaze, the corporate days outnumber the public days. This poem relates to the masquerade that is The Farnborough Air Show and Murder Incorporated.

calling to everyone,
“Join in the fight!”
Calling, demanding -

Not doing or proving

A dog and a pony
make up their whole show,
crafted to hide

The Greatest Trick The Devil Ever Pulled is convincing the world he doesn’t exist
The greatest trick the devil ever pulled
Is making the world believe he doesn’t exist
I don’t know why but I don’t agree
Let me explain I have an idea you see
Conspiracy theories is fuel for his flames
Brexit, traffic jams and gossip entertain…
His hoards and minions cheer and go wild
All waiting for the day that Johnson’s defiled
With a rod up his buttocks fo...
