AuthorityAuthorityInsecurities are painfully clear,Euphemisms make me shed a tear.I cringe to think, to question why,Men now cannot bear to die.None have faith, none will dream,None will even bear a gleamOf hope. For now authority bringsSimply a new clarity on things.We can be governed, we can be told,Our function in a larger mould.It's not bad, 'Let's be vein,Appreciate the inner pain!'Politically correct, nuclear living,Modern life is just spiffing!Tar tar old friends, we're off for now,We can expect a mere raised brow.
