We Grin

Before megrims and witches

and party political sons-of-bitches,

we grin.

Among cheaters and liars,

and hospital car park funeral pyres,

we grin.

Below betters and masters

and greed-fuelled economic disasters,

we grin.

Behind paywalls and pillage

and pathetic myths of a global village,

we grin…

and bear it…

for now.
