Abused with compassion

I scribble in obscurity,
enthused by a passion.
I quibble without surety,
amused in a fashion.
I nibble for security,
I'm bruised, scarred and ashen.
I dribble with maturity,
abused with compassion.

I sneer with gross profanity,
enthused by a passion.
I hear you call it vanity,
amused in a fashion.
I veer towards insanity,
I'm bruised, scarred and ashen.
I fear for all humanity,
abused with compassion.

We're on our arse! Severity!
Enthused by a passion.
They have the brass temerity
(amused in a fashion)
to try to pass austerity,
all bruised, scarred and ashen,
for middle-class prosperity -
Abused with compassion.

Irate at the bureaucracy,
enthused by a passion.
Can't tolerate hypocrisy,
amused in a fashion.
I hate all this autocracy,
we're bruised, scarred and ashen.
I wait for true democracy -
Abused with compassion.

So I scribble in obscurity,
enthused by a passion.
I quibble without surety,
amused in a fashion.
I nibble for security,
I'm bruised, scarred and ashen.
I dribble with maturity,
abused with compassion.
