this world

by Rachael Emmitt

I hate the tsunamis
and that we created armies
brave young men
filled with life
wrapped in a body bag
sent home to wife

Politicians hiding all their truths
behind a happy man’s disguise
like sheep we all follow them
believing in the lies

Celebrities needing reinforcement
whilst filling their pockets
from a Pepsi endorsement
saving up their dollars
as they go
crying about world hunger
on the tonight show

Theres a menu of religions
a smörgåsbord of gods
its a lucky dip
now pick one out
i’ll give you half price odds
