TRADE SURPLUS

TRADE SURPLUS

shut up with
this stupidity

are you grooving
into an epoch of
mental deficiency?

just because it is
the sublime will of money
the rapture of
self-serving power

when I see you
talking your processed
speech

I wonder how much
in the way of steel pins
for your face
brass screws
for your teeth

when they resolved
that you should
trade
      your humanity
rent out your heart

BEEB

BEEB

here we are
with our reporters
and cameras

swinging into Gaza
behind an armoured thrust

lucky
    to have all this protection
help us
get
      our story

one of our group
is fixated on asymmetry

though this is a word
we would not choose
to use
    on the BBC
