title: 'Twenty-first Century'
date: '2020-06-01'
poem: true
Whisper whisper whisper
flutter flutter
On went the light
Off went the light
Callous cretins chirruped
Curtains curtsied curtly
The twenty first century
Fiends found follies
follies found fractures
Great giants gorged
glinting glamorous gems
Slimy slithery sunken
streets swelling slowly
The twenty first century
Rotten rugged rough rubble
Refugees ravaging roadside roughage
Rape rage rose
Roaring righteous resolutions
Ruthless rigidity
The twenty first century
Slender seductresses serving
Sluggish sinister strangers
Sulphurous smoke swallowing
Soldiers, servicemen, saints
Soaring slavery
The twenty first century
Questioning queers
Quires quoting Queens' quests
Quality quizzing quorums
Quite quiet, quick queues
Quippy quills quelling quandaries
The twenty first century.
