World War Z ?
We've cracked all the bells in bread basket land
Lied to, half-starved , press- ganged
We fire " Fascist " seeking missiles into the dark sky
What happened to smoking around the barracks fire ?
What happened to training thrills with Comrades ?
What happened to leave with girlfriends, cafes,bars ?
Will our Coffins be Zinc this time ?
No one dances around our fires
fanned only by the Winter wind
Far off but not far enough a monster can't sleep
imagining Nero like conspiracies-
a mentor to the Western Left
The patient Moscow River sounds a Siren song
for King Rat to gather with the other rats
hypnotised, sleep-walking ,descending into oblivion.
Peter Burton 21.3.22
