Civil Worm - after August

Self-determined on destruction
Lie-wrought wording in their heads
Warmer days – relaxing action
Holidays – on beach – in sheds

This the time of dereliction
More than usual their pay
Now unearned – their unconviction
Warping children – They sashay

Round to find some small contention
When - at last – returning work
Forces them to old invention
‘Lie’ – beneath their ‘truth’ lies lurk

This – they say – is old invection
Made against three years or more
Water under bridge – Rejection
Settles this behind the door

Your case closed by interruption
Cannot be reopened now
Truth is covered – their corruption
Says they simply won’t allow

Any colleague’s bad intention
To be lifted to the light
(Paid by us) their condescension
Doesn’t bear the truth – Their might

Is to close down all illusion
Which the surface might project
Black and block in forced collusion
Leave the child harmed, drugged and wrecked

Time is now to force their notion
Into avenues of light
Paint the awful desecration
Shout their wrongs to haunt the night

Pick them up with concentration
Camp them – workless, doomed and skint
Force their nerve with indignation
Show them honour - just a hint

Make those lives of civil station
Count as what is fair and firm
We’re not rabbits – we’re a nation
Rid us of this Civil Worm.
