‘Our un-elected leaders murder millions of us

entertainment programmes to appeal for our forgiveness.

The health service routinely puts to death
healthy individuals with many years of productive life
before them while keeping alive, in excruciating agony,
for weeks, months, sometimes years, those with no chance
of long-term survival.

After years of openly consorting with, supporting,
and ardently defending, ‘lovers of youth’
our king has issued a charter
which values the planet
more than the individual human lives
which that planet produces.

How did it come to this?’
