New poem. Now. #Poetry #Poem #Politics
Now Now is a dangerous time In the world, when Grey men who want power Enlist mass support through Lies about immigration, and the Foreign, invent stories of A threat to their countries from Roving gangs of other Races, and preach Inhumanity rather than Decency, declare war on Goodness and dignity, Elevate the destruction of lives Instead of encouraging tolerance So we all can live together in A world of peace and Real understanding. Truth is Anathema to these Culture warriors whose words Incriminate themselves, and Show them to be The real villains Always. History will Not judge them kindly, these Destroyers of unity And compassion. Look at facts, not Insidious lies and motives, And preach and practice Resistance to hatred. R 26/08/2025 16:57 Norwich

This is for anyone who was protesting against #Immigration outside a hotel today.
The Racist You say everyone’s equal. You’re anti-immigrant. You say colour doesn’t matter. You’re anti-immigrant. You say people must be safe. You’re anti-immigrant. You say you have foreign friends. You’re anti-immigrant. You take holidays abroad. You’re anti-immigrant. You don’t like foreign food. You’re anti-immigrant. You only speak English. You’re anti-immigrant. You won’t do some jobs. You’re anti-immigrant. You’re a benefits fraud. You’re anti-immigrant. You hate paying tax. You’re anti-immigrant. You wave a red and white flag. You’re anti-immigrant. You’re red in the face. You’re anti-immigrant. You say you’re Christian. You’re anti-immigrant. You say you’re not racist. Actually, you are racist. You’re anti-immigrant. R 23/08/2025 12:07 Norwich

New poem. Island Of Strangers. tettig.com/island-of-st... #Politics #Immigration
Island Of Strangers We’re already there. Where no-one leaves their doors unlocked, Where suspicion is the prime emotion, Where the sick are a burden, Where the poor are third class, Where trans people are legislated against, Where foreigners are scum, Where race crime is in fashion again, Where anyone different is bad, Where intolerance is encouraged, Where Europe is the enemy, Where racists are true friends, Where no-one is allowed to trust another, Where the only respected minority is fascist, Where no promises are kept, Where love is a foreign word, Where empathy is discouraged, Where truth is a dirty word, Where everyone hates each other, Where political expediency trumps statesmanship, Where culture is broken, Where there s no future.

New single. without goodbyes. out 21feb25. preorder at distrokid.com/hyperfollow/.... Why? Oligarchs condemn Flower Power, peace & environmental movements, & human rights protesters, for the troubles of the world. But it’s actually these despots’ own lies and greed which are to blame. #NewMusic
