Are we at the end pages?
Is the world going through final stages?
More like pantomime phases
Emergency alert text services
Just fearmongering
Being done on purpose
To make everyone feel nervous
Switched it off on my phone and tablet
Then fall asleep to a beat and just forget
Locks your device and awaits acknowledgement
Call me paranoid but it seems suspect

so true, dear poet
(what use, a warning
when warheads, armed
with our inevitable endings
are half-way to our doorstep
instead of such silly, antics
dear 'concerned' government
how about, you address
the little things, that wreck
our everyday
like, say - addressing
those endless, sirens
serenading, our bombarded state
of enforced, homestays
we need no more flames of fear
to, fear
we go to sleep, reading lullabies
to our kids
with a white noise, backdrop
of screams
and those ever-belated, sirens
destined for spending cut's
too late, arrivals
how about, that
do something about, that
warn us, when it will be our turn
to witness that next mugging
stabbing or senseless murder
on our doorsteps!!!
use all those cameras
for something, other than
chasing down car tax fraudsters
how about, trying
to save a life
for a change???
eh... dear 'concerned' government
you fck'n parasites!'
I agree 100 percent, corruption is rife I guess.
Reminds me of the very old joke - Instruction in the Case of Disaster: 'When the alarm sounds, bend over, put your head between your legs, and kiss your bum good bye'.
A dose of cynicism well placed, C.
Haha! Yes, it is very weird what they are doing. Pathetic times we are living in.
