The Stunning New Year's Resolution

Are you going to let the glory go to the Tories?
Are you going to let your rage be contained in a cage?
Are you going to let the TTP/TTIP fly-tip your future
into a corporate-dominated State,
set to annihilate
all those dimensions
untethered to its fate?

Are you going to let Cameron
keep sucking off the pigs of Saudi Arabia?
A c(o)untry where they still allow
mutilation of young girls' labias?

What are you waiting for? Some kind of Saviour?
There's no Second Coming. JC's left it to us.
So between you and me, we've got to suss.
The way-forward.
The win-wins. The King-pins.
The Fat Lady Sings when we say: This is It.

nb: still relevant in July 2017 and in some ways can be updated to Theresa May (though as someone pointed out, JC could refer to Jeremy Corbyn, though it doesn't, and Theresa May did not attract the same scurrilous rumours as Cameron did). And it may be theologically incorrect.
