I'm In Hell
I am in HELL
With the SMELL
Of these foul people
These fucking prosecco drinking SHEEPLE
With money (and a planet) to burn
I will turn
Away
From ANYONE engaging
Because I am fucking raging
At their mindless smalltalk
Their gibberish squalks
YOU can have all the plastic *you* desire
But I'm still in a damn FIRE
here
In this plastic boat
It really does get my goat
Flashing your plastic cards
So you can 'look at the stars'
'Right from the middle of the ocean'
And what? your token-
Recycling is back home?
Being sent away and out to the TWILIGHT ZONE
A full Himalayan range of mountains on the beaches
With hoards of Indian magpie seekers
The poor
Who are just looking to score
Some cash from our trash.
If I die send me there.
Don't send me to that dystopian carnival fair
On a ship where I'm emotionally bare
Metaphorically unclothed, desperately trying to hide
I'll absolutely plank myself over the side!!
I will!!

Such incandescent vitriol but I am with you all the way. I would rather be in the prison of a police state than sail the seas in one of those ghastly block flats which float around the world.
Thank you indeed for such an eloquent rendering
