Ring a Ring Of Roses (spit and post)

by CJ Maleney   Jul 31, 2018


Ring a Ring Of Roses
A pocket full of of posies
A tissue a tissue we all fall down.

Ashes in the water,
Ashes in the trees,
A mad man with a button,
Floats those ashes on a breeze.

It hasn't come to happen, YET!
But it's the way that things could be,
When you place your cross into that box
You must choose more carefully.

The ashes that could float!
We thought that threat was gone!
But with a stupid tyrant!
That threat now lingers on.

30 years have passed so fast,
So we felt that we were safe.
But men spinning things with things to win
Will make us think again.

Embargoes here, Embargoes there
Nations crippled and cut in half!
You are leaders of your countries and this world
You need to find and know your heart.

That pledge of allegiance you swore!
It's not worth the words you spat.
It means not one thing to anyone
You're still all about the cash.

I should not fear for my children's future!
Yet it's something I often do.
The people who rule this planet

Should not be anyone like you!

    Damn, Craig! A well written and fiery spit and post from you, good sir. It's interesting because my sister and I were just having a conversation about this tonight, and were making some of the same points. But I really love your idea of the kids taking over. Get stoned. Xbox. Hugs. Pizza. In that order. Freaking brilliant lol. Anyway, a great and thoughtful write, dude. I hear ya! Well done!

    I'm 46 years old. In my later years at secondary school I remember being shown videos (yeah videos because I am that old) of what could happen if a nuclear war were to happen.

    It was scarey!

    It was pretty bloody graphic too. So much so it even told you how to make a bunker and prepare for it. What the frog, (sorry wanted to say f×+k but i ain't allowed).

    30 or so years later we seem to be right back where we were.

    Honestly think we should let the kids take over the world's governments. They'll get stoned and decide who wins via a battle on xbox or a similar platform. Hug each other after then order pizza.

    Let's face it they couldn't do any worse!
