Dracunculiasis all round
27 March 2007
Don’t call them all liars
for pretending they’re the ones who start fires
Don’t blame society or the children of men
for confusing biscuits with safety match boxes
for confusing breakfast and Barretta and which word of the two might be better
for confusing
might as well with choosing
They’re forever waking up on the wrong side of dead
They should just listen to less music instead
They believe that black + white = red
They believe in Gods and guns to the head
He’s talking crazy he wants more polution
Putting red lines through all of our resolutions
And scribbling all around
the ordered lists of our problems
But if we all felt that tiny bit worse
We might learn to stop loving the curse
