Twin Leaders

Strutting like fascists pumping hard, oozing pomp
Twin leaders, at twin lecterns now stiffly arriving
Muscle-bound mouthings from  twins on the stomp
Our language deformed with mis-facts so contriving.

Frozen smiles pucker lips seen on millions of tellies
While out there our lads fear lead in their bellies.

The leaders synthesize speeches with ranting rejoicing
Though casualties leap towards sickening highs
Hugely asleep to the grief millions are voicing
Swimming too deep in a tissue of lies.

Frozen smiles pucker lips seen on millions of tellies
While out there our lads fear lead in their bellies.
