Project Red (31)

Project Red

1

The jury surprised me: the opposite of grand
Considering their power as I took the stand
On being found guilty I knew it was time
To be punished for my imaginary crime

Evil was mentioned about Project Red
And some manifesto concealed in my bed
Suggesting delinquents in town so he said
Were victims of flyers I supposedly spread?

This counsel continued my politics were bad
And were illegally imported from Leningrad
Possibly when Stalin was still in command
And keen to corrupt the young in our land

Saving the world
Might well be a breeze
If there were more people
Protecting the trees

Our rivers are withering
So too are our bees
This isn’t a mystery
Greed is the disease

We ambushed a road with obstacles too
This had to be good and delighted a few
But sadly our judge could never agree
About anything affable said about me

Our bubble bath was fabulous fun
Paving the way for our water gun
Creating chaos is really not bad
Given our Age is certainly mad

In support of our cause we hid in our house
A delightful surprise in the form of a mouse
Or else in the town we might unleash a rat
We certainly enjoyed ourselves with that!

Saving the world
Might well be a breeze
If there were more people
Protecting the trees

Our rivers are withering
So too are our bees
This isn’t a mystery
Greed is the disease

The world today has lost the plot
With greed the one value to be got
Just open your eyes; a battle remains
Since society loves to keep us in chains

Many believe capitalism is a crime
For ravaging nature once sublime
To enable the rich to get richer still
Leaving posterity to pick up the bill

Since our law makers are dim-witted
Saving the planet is not permitted
Within a system that has broken
And a populace far from woken

Saving the world
Might well be a breeze
If there were more people
Protecting the trees

Our rivers are withering
So too are our bees
This isn’t a mystery
Greed is the disease

The End
