CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE (Mike Smelt 2020)
At what point do people say enough is enough?
Does life have to get even more rough?
When will the public get out on the streets?
The message is clear from the endless tweets.
The truth is all out there, the charts are clear.
We need to move it up, to the next gear.
We have to get out there in open revolt.
And refuse to do, as we’ve been told.
Our children need to get back to school.
We cannot accept this dictatorial rule.
Something unsavoury is clearly going on.
Our civil liberties have nearly all gone.
Are you really happy to be tracked and traced?
Our way of life completely displaced.
Don’t put that muzzle on your face!
It adds to the fear, a national disgrace.
See your friends, go and mingle.
Have that date, if you’re single.
Call around, host that party.
Go to the gymn, go to Karate.
Crowds of us need to make a stand.
To stop our freedoms being canned.
The power is ours, to make it stop.
And finish the psychopaths at the top.
I REFUSE (Mike Smelt 08/20)
I refuse to be muzzled
I refuse to be masked
I refuse to keep my distance
I refuse to do as I’m asked
I refuse the rhetoric
I refuse the hand poison
I refuse to listen to nonsense
I refuse the bent reason
I refuse the restrictions
I refuse the lockdown
I refuse to avoid friends
I refuse to avoid town
I refuse not to see family
I refuse to avoid the crowds
I refuse to hear more bullshit
I refuse not to sing aloud
I refuse not to shout
I refuse not to sneeze
I refuse to be cowed
By a media disease
THEY DIED OF COVID 19 (Mike Smelt 2020)
My Grandma had a heart attack.
But she died of Covid 19.
Well she was old and sick and frail.
It was for the best, I know that sounds mean.
My mates Uncle committed suicide.
But he died of Covid 19.
He’d been depressed for some time beforehand.
After being forced into quarantine.
Dave dad, well he choked to death.
But he died of Covid 19.
It was a really sad turn of events.
He was eating a loaf of Soreen.
His brother was eaten by Piranhas.
But he died of Covid 19.
He went for a swim in the Amazon.
And he coughed, the last time he was seen.
Stuart’s uncle got run over by a bus.
But he died of Covid 19.
He’d been forced to wear a face nappy.
And he didn’t see it coming, poor Dean.
Peter’s son got bitten by a Great White.
But he died of Covid 19.
He’d been out swimming from his patrol boat.
And was seen spluttering by his fellow marine.
Prince Philip crashed his Land Rover.
But he died of Covid 19.
His missus told him he shouldn’t be driving.
It’s the last time he saw the Queen.
Old Mary got food poisoning.
But she died of Covid 19.
She’d eaten a dodgy prawn sandwich.
That had turned her totally green..
I don’t know about you, but it’s not very clear
Who has actually died from Covid 19.
There will be years of accusations and cover ups.
And the truth will never be seen.
THE HEROES OF SCEPTISISM (Mike Smelt 2020)
Peter Hitchens was the earliest
To challenge the conventional view
Toby Young started Lockdown Sceptics
When the alternative narrative grew
The In Proportion 2 project
Has been superb at giving context
Challenging the accepted narrative
And what might be coming next
Daniel Levitt on twitter
The son of a Nobel Prize winner
Challenging the science head on
The media will see him a sinner
Susan Pearson in the Telegraph
She has been excellent throughout
Challenging the treatment of children
Shutting schools, what’s that all about?
A big shout to Lord Sumption
A former Chief Justice you know
Is there anyone more respected?
If there is I would like to know
Hugh Osmund the business leader
He knows about the economic hurt
Millions of people made unemployed
Trampled on like they were dirt
Danilel Hanann the Journalist & MEP
Has tried to get the point across
But he has been ignored also
The Government don’t give a toss
Dr John Lee in the spectator
Covering the death count scandal
His brilliant detailed analysis
Cutting through decisions like a vandal
Professor Knut Wittkowski
If only Wittys mind was so clear
Promoted herd immunity from the beginning
If we had listened we wouldn’t be here
Professor Dolores Cahill
Her credentials leave you no doubt
Her direct speech and charisma
She has the experience and the clout
Simon Dolan wants to keep Britain free
And challenged the government in court
He is the true lockdown hero
Putting his reputation on the line without thought
So why have these people been silenced
They have the credentials you see
Unfortunately most people out there
Are getting brainwashed by the BBC.
BEDWETTER (Mike Smelt 08/20)
What are you living in fear for?
You have a duty to live your life
The way that you are acting
It’s like you’ve a bunny boiler for a wife
You’re staying in your home too much
You’re wasting precious time
When you realise you’ve nothing to be scared of
You’ll see that bedwetting is a crime
You see, your fear is irrational
The virus is no worse than the flu
You’re missing out on vital experiences
And seem happy to be told what to do
You’re listening to all the propaganda
And watching too much BBC
Your mind is completely brainwashed
Please listen to some proportionality
You see, this isn’t much of a killer
For most you’ll be ill for two days
It’s not like the 1980’s
Like AIDS was for the Gays
Unless you are really old and ill
The danger is very small
This nonsense was supposed to be done in 3 weeks
But it’s going on to the Fall
So get out there and start living
It’s what you’re on the Earth to do
Come on out and let’s enjoy ourselves
The sun is shining, the sky is blue.
POLITICAL AFFILIATIONS (Mike Smelt 2020)
There is no political home left
For a vehement lockdown sceptic
The ridiculous decisions, backed by all
The parties have become quite septic
All sceptics seem to be on the right
Not a comfortable place for me
But what is right is right, and wrong is wrong
I don’t have strong affiliations you see
Why is the left so silent?
When our civil liberties are stepped on
It’s as if they don’t care about freedoms
Will they wake up when they’re all gone?
Our movements have been curtailed
Our children haven’t been to school
Our workplaces have been shut down
Our leaders are unable to rule
The most vulnerable in society
Who the left are supposed to care about
Have been trodden on and left to rot
I’ve not heard any of them shout
The Government are universally hated
Labour and Liberals should be making hay
But all they seem to care about
Is for a seasonal virus to go away
So who is there left to vote for?
When they are all as bad as each other
I have lost total faith with all of them
Next time I won’t even bother.
SECOND WAVE (Mike Smelt 2020)
AS the deaths disappear to nothing
And the virus has gone away
And nobody is being hospitalized
True cases go down day by day
You would think this would be good news
But all I hear the media crave
Is bad things are just around the corner
And there must be a second wave
Nothing about empty hospitals
Nothing about cancer deaths
Nothing about T cell immunity
Only doom mongering til their last breaths
It is a seasonal respiratory virus
That has acted the same way as others
It’s just not affecting people anymore
Not our parents, our sisters or brothers
Where is this second wave coming from?
There is no sign that I can see
The media, well they are the virus
Stopping people from living easy
Why are we wearing face nappies?
When they were deemed useless from the start
What other dehumanisation have they planned?
How about a blanket ban on farts!
CENSORSHIP (Mike smelt 2020)
It’s plainly obvious
We are being had
It’s clear the virus
Was never that bad
Professors from Oxford
Their voices subdued
Trying to speak
But being screwed
Scientists on social media
Are being blocked
Trying to get their point across
But constantly being mocked
American Doctors
Taking a stand
But being cancelled
By popular demand
Facts and charts
From experts who know
Are being silenced
With tales of woe
Facemasks don’t work
The experts said
They were shut up
And sent to bed
The modelling is nonsense
Said the men with the stats
But we’ll cover that up
With bullshit caveats
Nobel prize winners
Showing what’s going on
But the credence given
Is as good as none
Proven treatments
That could have saved deaths
Have been put a stop to
As they drew their last breaths
Immunity enhancing treatments
Being forgotten about
The eminent professors
Trying to shout
The media and Government
Are trying to con us
Time to take a stand
The onus is on us
Mike - great stuff! Instead of bombarding letters to the government with little or no effect, this poetry sends the message with a much nicer read. I'd like to have a try if you give me permission to have a go. I thought it may bring my waste of time MP out of permanent self imposed lockdown and grow a backbone. Not hopeful but I have to try.
