It was in Chemistry at the end of last week…
I was chatting away at the back of the class
When the teacher came and smacked me round the head.
Shocked, I protested and I said:
‘But I was telling them what you told me:
That the President is a very good man.’
‘That was yesterday,’ he replied. ‘Today he’s a bastard.
He’s just killed my brother and jailed my nephew.’
‘Oh, I’m sorry,’ I said, ‘for your loss and for your pain.’
Ruefully he smiled, and smacked my head again.
I like this styling, thanks
Very good Stephen.
I will reiterate all that Uilleam has said because he says it in such a great way and I'd be just making it up.
Thank goodness we are not aware of the thoughts of others.
Thanks

Audenesque, Steve. Another who made sharp political points, and still rhymed.
Such an impactful poem, Stephen. It reminded me of this beautiful and tearjerker film that I watched - "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas". That showcased how people (kids) of Germany were deceived by the good side of Hitler, until the boy found out what really was happening with the Jews in the camps.
Thank you.

Thank you Stephen.
As the old saying goes: "There's none so blind as those who will not see"; there's a lot of wilful ignorance around, which has a way of biting one on the bum.

Thank you for your kind comments, Uilleam, Manish, Greg, Russell, Keith and U-Scribe.
It is difficult for most of us to imagine dictatorial societies where there is no freedom of speech and where everyone is brainwashed into believing that the leader is the fount of all wisdom, until one day the scales fall from in front of their eyes. There are one or two places like this I can think of........
Thank you once again for all your comments, which were most appreciated.
And thanks to Nigel, Tim, Holden, Graham and Jon for the likes.
