Topical little poem posted by Guardian reader "judyg"

The seas are all polluted and theres over fishing too
They tell us then to be more green when we are feeling blue
Our food is full of chemicals, stupid then is that?
The toxins that we eat we shouldnt put out for the cat!
Nuclear waste is hidden too, underneath our soil
They say this the way forward as we grow more short of oil!
Our medicines, have side effects, while killing off disease
The side effects are sometimes worse than the illness if you please!
Herbal cures and vitamins are scorned by ‘experts though
And anyway drug companies would lose out-what a blow!
Pollution from our vehicles is causing many ills
For chesty coughs and asthma were given then more pills!
Were warned of global warming and that we must recycle
Are they really serious or just taking the Michael?
The earth it keeps on spinning, turning the same way
But may not always be the case, it will change round one day!
Meanwhile we have corruption, mostly in high places
Often this is hidden, and the villains hide their faces
Were told we have democracy, to vote in who we choose
But who is there to vote for? We have so much to lose.
Who is pulling all the strings in this our great ‘free world?
Not the politicians at whom bad eggs are hurled
The money men lay hidden, the power in their hands
Big trans national companies now cover all the lands
Warmongers and evil seem to rule the day
We need a New World Order! the leaders now do say!
What we need is honesty and decency again
A world not ruled by Mammon and usury! insane!
A world of great equality and food for everyone
A roof then over every head to rest when the day is done.
These things wont come about though by just some heavenly prayer
A paradigm shift of thinking the new way forward here!
We really dont want fooling by media and biased news
We dont want suffocating by preachers from the pews
Need new ideas and trust again and less of all the gloom
And throw out all the rubbish, then buy a big new broom!
