Ya Bass

Worst Poem. Ever?

If you go into other people’s countries
and bomb them
they will bomb you.
You can call them what you like
You can tell us that our cause is noble
You can tell us that they’re evil and we are good
But the rule remains:
If you go into other people’s countries
and bomb them
they will bomb you.

I didn't think it possible but the three poems Michael Rosen has written for the Socialist Worker are at least on a par with Harold Pinters efforts from a couple of years ago. Remember this?

Democracy

There's no escape.
The big pricks are out.
They'll fuck everything in sight.
Watch your back.

On another point - perhaps someone should inform Michael Rosen that the Jihadist murderers who carried out the London massacres on 7/7/2005 did not come from Iraq or Afghanistan, but from Yorkshire.
