"ACCEPT YOUR FATE"
(I am always unimpressed by poems which try to rhyme every line. They strike me as a self-indulgent exercise in dexterity by the poet. Anyroadup, here's one.)
St Peter stands at Heaven’s gate
Please be polite; don’t make him wait;
You know you’re past your sell-by date
So just Accept Your Fate.
You know you all exacerbate
Our parlous economic state;
Forget the call to vaccinate;
Be told – Accept Your Fate.
Let’s have no more of this debate;
Make good your will and your estate;
Don’t be a shitty little ingrate
But just Accept Your Fate.
