I’m taking pen to paper

I’m taking pen to paper
In a bid to save the world,
They’ll read my fantastic prose
And hang on every word.

-

They’ll cite me in Parliament,
And quote me on the Wiki,
And put up a big statue
Of me thinking, in the city.

-

I will write into the paper
And tell it as it is.
I’ll mansplain the symbiosis
Between the poor and the rich.

-

I’ll study the scrolls of Twitter, How left and right flow and ebb,
And how when a horrible bastard dies,
They cry “Don’t speak ill of the dead”.

-

And then I’ll make the dinner,
After the washing up.
I think I set myself up to fail,
As I rest in the evening, with my cup.
