Tom Mottram - Climate Change

“Oh, look out, the planet’s heating up! ”
Yes, with snow at Easter.
Change your story bloody quick:
Generic change is now its theme?

Experts lie in unison:
The “world-wide” united front
Subjugating democracy to one
Obscene technocracy
Of quangoes and committees

And some self-righteous wealthy WASP
(Sans “P”, bien sûr)
Brags about his Prius
And that little chimney-top fan
And I think
“Good for you,
Now shut up,
**** off.”

And floating over this sanctimonious
Orgy of pontification
I see a cackling spectral ghoul
Astride his green ethereal bike:
The phantom of good Joe McCarthy
Reborn in new guise;
But now ‘tis he serves
The veiled armies of Marx
That hammer Freedom’s door.

Politicians grin from ear to ear
“We know what’s best,
We’ll save the World –
Just submit.”

They lock Freedom in Her tomb
One brick at a time.
