Chaos wears a veil of deceit

scrap metal with refuse spew forth

Embroiderers unpick the mangled barbed wire

as distant voices in discord pronounce nothing

Incompetence and Ignorance stand as sentinels

the inept and unqualified replace the hinges

Misfortune born of apathy and stupidity 

in a playground of clowns in full costume

Groups, free thinkers and empty cisterns

reek echoing sounds of ruinous despair

Some pull, others push betwixt the seasons

An island, a cul de sac bereft of reason

ants scurry about and some do shout

A guiding star hidden by voluminous clouds

road signs lay broken, trodden underfoot

The carousel does spin with its crew

if only there was someone who knew
