The night is dark
and full of terrors.
Anxiety dreams

Noel Gallagher has reached the fine age
where he thinks that his opinions matter;
while Rod Stewart bangs on how good Farage
would be to make the English Fat Cats fatter.
Both condemn the young musicians on the shelves
for being 'woke' and having views opposed
to those of Rich, Old, White Men like themselves
while they forget that social justice grows
not from embracing current status quo
but calling out injustice. Do they remember
when they echoed Marley's call to throw
oppression down and Free Nelson Mandela?
Complacency opposes something new
do they believe that Russians love their children too?
