A Roundabout World Poem by Gordon David

The young men continue with their masturbation
The Catholic church gives them some castigation
Farmer struggling with his irrigation
G M crops are becoming an irritation

Drug addicts stand in line for their medication
Old ladies admire the doctors dedication
Waiting for pills to treat their bladder infection
Smiling faces can’t hide feelings of dejection

A proud young boy showing his new stamp collection
A teacher sighs, in a moment of reflection
A note from the Head “Another school inspection”
Searching for a novel imperfect perfection?

Little children can’t understand segregation
Through their eyes it’s just a form of degradation
Another naughty boy getting his detention
To break every school rule is his intention

He’ll learn as he grows all about evolution
A political mind that craves devolution
All the brothers waiting for his revolution
Powerful people teaching him elocution

Down the road there will be a new constitution
People demanding to purge the institution
Same old faces point in the same old direction
While he sits alone, head in hands, in dejection

The young men continue with their masturbation
The Catholic church dishing out castigation
Farmer struggling with his irrigation
G M crops are becoming an irritation
