The blackout ©

Dirty filthy Weinstein

May’s crimes resign

Trump’s similar slime

All used today

To make hay

and bury truth

Of the blackout

News no more

Of Knight Assange

Imprisoned in solitude

One

Hundred and seventy five years

For news true

Not bot drones

Espionage the camouflage

Left all alone

To defend the people’s news

A single journalist

World’s news finalist

All the while

The fourth estate

Now, the state

Makes up news

Continues programmes

Of lies and hatred

Be they Brexit, Russia or what you got

Whatever

Make the press release hot

Use force or get tougher

Make people’s lives rougher

No poverty or ill health buffer

Leave Assange and all to rot and suffer

State news ruse

Your only clues

Yesterday’s news

Deserves boos

Assange a true hero©

A true hero

Wears no medal

Needs not to kill

But to save all

Yet makes a crown

Of earthly leaves

Or so the story goes

Today

The words of truth

Sacrificed to the altar of lies

The bastions of corrupt ties

Life’s real foes feign

Morality making injustice justice

Lies and misdeeds reign

Known and yet unknown

April turned the cruellest

May and her Brexit trash

Machiavellian political embarrassment

Grenfell presider

Hate presider

Poverty presider

Injustice presider

Grotesque excuse for a human leaves

A kingdom of people in tatters

That the heavens must bear

Arthur only worthy of being the kingdom’s heir

Upholder of round justice love kindness

Assange a true hero

Rise and take

Your rightful place
