Angry

I'm so tired of being angry

Angry at this and that and them.

I'm so tired of being the annoying voice

Whose screams become the wind.

I'm tired of telling you about inequality

How we leapt backwards since man (yes men) stepped on the moon.

I'm tired of telling you about real incomes

How they haven't moved since five prime ministers ago.

I'm tired of telling you about climate change

How we can't fool the atmosphere like you fool the news.

I'm tired of telling you about superbugs

How they will kill more than are in London each spin round the sun.

I'm tired of your Babels

Your idols and vain contempt

Your belief that history will change as you sit on your arse.

I'm tired by you who think Gen Z will save it all

Hoping their passion will excuse your inaction.

I'm tired of you who fear imaginary postmodern Marxists

Hoping to crucify those with a dream as 'woke'.

I'm so tired of being angry

Angry at this and that and them.

Yet a sin it is to keep calm and carry on

To pretend like Newcastle FC it's all okay.

So yes I'll flip those tables

And this next one I'll flip for you x
