We are not in control
there is no vertical or horizontal hold
we’re being left to our own devices
which have been
devised by the puppeteers.
I’ll guess
another three cheers
for the NHS,
but
no money for the nurses.
We’ve been plugged in to
a mainframe
and its drained out our energy
to give life to a secret fraternity
we are not in control
we never were.
