Kalashnikov from Niscitam by Blake Scott

Rolled gold patrons of the rich
with mortgages and fetishes
Educated just enough
to keep our own accounts

Simmering social soup
flim flam and one-upmanship
Clubs and cliques and barbecues
false affluence and rot

Wow... Cambodge is incredible
you can do what you like with them
For a couple of bucks
you can fire a Kalashnikov

Catholics in politics
Racist, sexist
swinging dicks
Vile old pile of misanthropes
steer our little ship

Sports bet ads
aimed at low IQ’s
Deep slow drawls, fill the pews
In the churches of commercial tripe
we celebrate diminished wisdom

Wow… Cambodge is incredible
you can do what you like with them
For a couple of bucks
you can fire a Kalashnikov

Mining magnates clap their lips
about best practice for welfare recipients
Whist drinking an average salary
in a weekend on their yacht

Another death in custody
Another year of interest free
Another heart that won’t restart
in the lane you park your Beamer

Wow… Cambodge is incredible
you can do what you like with them
For a couple of bucks
you can fire a Kalashnikov

Young girls best not concern themselves
with climate change, earth and the end of it
Meet a boy, settle down
he’ll just as likely kill you first
One a week as we speak
women killed by men in this country...
Anyway, how good’s the UFC?!
