What am I supposed to teach my class?

Really grubby individuals

odious

obnoxious

capricious

there isn’t a despot whose money they wouldn’t take

or a hand they wouldn’t shake.

It’s all smiling, suits and vainglory

as ours pussy foot

and kowtow to the preening

and most certainly unworthy

it’s kissing the ring that puts suffering on our screens:

these genocidal wars are an international project.

Trumped up

craven

& venal

planning for a post peace world

is putting the cart before the horse.

Use your sledgehammer, man, to hammer the hammer, not crack the nut
