Daylight robbery#

Adjust all the clocks, cut off your phone,

Let Chat-GPT guide you at work and at home.

If MAGAs don't get you the money bags will.

So follow your leader and 'Drill Baby drill'.

Let drones do their eavesdropping far overhead

Scribbling on the sky the message Truth Is Dead.

Put a label round the neck of each public swan

And worry about microparticles much later on.

Trump is transforming a stable world order

In breach of the law and set sovereign borders.

His motive, like Mammon's, is clear as a bell:

More riches for him and the rest go to hell.

The facts are not wanted: we're all in the lurch,

Pack up all intellect, dismantle research.

Get under the bedclothes, remember the past.

Fly all your old flags - but only half-mast.
