‘You’re angry that…’. A Poem for our times

You’re angry that ‘your’ queen is dead

And you know that I don’t care

You’re angry that I don’t recognise

Her ‘rightful Son and Heir’

You’re angry that I don’t show ‘respect’

To something I don’t believe

You’re angry that I have the freedom

To choose when I should grieve

You’re angry, that unlike you,

I wasn’t put upon this earth

To bow and scrape and know my place,

Like some medieval serf

You’re Angry that somehow,

I’m allowed a point of view

You’re angry when you realise

I don’t agree with you

You’re angry that I don’t embrace

Your feudalistic rules

You’re angry because you know that I despise

Such grovelling, fawning fools

But you see, I am angry too

About so many different things

Born in a world of sycophants,

And all the grief it brings

I’m angry at the BBC, the Daily Mail,

The morons that they quote

The puerile propaganda

They’re ramming down my throat

I’m angry that I’m mourning,

For a vision that has gone

Angry that we can’t make a world

That works for everyone

I’m angry that we’re still held back

By forelock tuggers such as you

Angry that you’re wedded to your masters

And your own outdated view

I’m angry that you worship

The people at the top

Your whole world’s an anachronism

It really has to stop.
