Dumbing Down


Provide twenty four hour news
With selected information
To govern and control
The great mass of the nation.
Let the billionaire  barons
Of the popular press
Manipulate their readers in
Games of propaganda chess.
Glorify professional football
The modern Gladiatorial Games,
Give maximum exposure to
The latest top players' names.
Make heaps of soaps available
On twenty four hour TV,
Loads of reality shows
There for the public to see.
A calculated process of
General  dumbing down
To produce a nation fit
To led by a lying clown,
And that's little britain
Offshore economy that's
Gently, surely sinking
As the result of such
Dynamic thinking.
I bet old Churchill
Is spinning in his grave
At this land of the free,
Once home of the brave.
So, Rule Britannia as Boris,
Ineffective Party Hack,
Continues to foul up
Getting his country back.
