Get back into the Offices

Get back into the offices
for your daily dose of
alienation
exploitation
oppression
immiseration
atomisation
isolation

Get back into the offices
on the basis of our needs
that is; the rich
there is dirty money there
hidden, tax havens
shell companies
tax avoidance schemes

Get back into the offices
our friends
the Russian oligarchs
are asking why
their profits start to fall

Get back into the offices
the Kuwaiti
Sovereign Wealth Fund
have given so much
to media manipulation
dinners with the Queen
and tennis matches with ministers

Get back into the offices
there are arms deals
with Saudi Arabian
despots
who murder their opponents
making money
from the spilt blood
of pregnant women
children and newly born babies

Get back into the offices
there is corruption there
another England
in which freedom means slavery
and slavery is a subject
of culture wars

Get back into the offices
and you may find there
another England
of kindness and compassion
and open minded fraternity
of solidarity and resistance
and the possibility of

Revolution
