This sense of entitlement,
A pitiful demand contrite
In the Western dream.
Why should you have it
What did you do to earn it?
Spoilt brats of westernised demands.
The world owes you nothing,
You owe the world, denial kept far from sight.

I’m sure it’s difficult in this world of blame,
Integrity fast becoming a thing of the past.

Start a new movement
Of self-responsibility
Be the leader of the pack!
Breakaway from media manipulation and
Distraction leading the way.

Divide and conquer
Gladly invited into the daily
Way of life.

To deny and forget the communal sense
Which held us all together,
Our mortar to our bricks of social responsibilities
And the care we had for each other.

Cast off that entitlement
And start to live the fruitful fulfilling
Life once more and say feck you
To those in power, the power of media and
Leave them all with no power at all.

Watch them sink into the depths drowning
In a quagmire of their own filthy stinking shit.

Thank you for reading. J.

Thank you for your support @meg and for giving my words a platform.
