23rd June 2025

 


defeating democracy

the removal of Human Rights

one by one

While all my life the freedoms I have had

come from struggles by those who came before

But now the tide has turned to make life bad

for those who slip between cisgender law.

When rich men pay to rig the democratic vote

and pay to make their petty hatreds grow

with silver basted words they hate promote

and make of some minority a foe.

With Hitler it was Jews who took the fall

with Trump the immigrants who travelled there;

again the transfolk, Rowling has the gall

to deny the basic human right of care.

 "Crucify the Taigs," the loyalists cry

"More Blacks, More dogs, More Irish" our reply.
