Rip - Poem by Frances May

Another country on the blacklist
a few more broken anarchists
some prisoners added to our jails
starting wars over broken nails

rip away the façade
take a picture of the view

the swallows will migrate south
and we'll go to the moon
forget about the destruction
it'll all be over soon

rip away the façade
take a picture of the view

Big brother's watching
so don't forget to smile
restrained by his false principles
we all will stand on trial

rip away the façade
take a picture of the view

another victory in the history books
millions lost each day
we'll commemorate the dead
leave some poppies where they lay

rip away the façade
take a picture of the view
