Socialist Sonnet No. 89

Misdirection

 

Concealed as a shadow in the shadows,

Lurking unheeded deep down in the state,

Secretly directing everyone’s fate,

And only a few cognoscenti know

The workings of this satanic cabal,

A hidden elite who are conspiring

To realise their vague plan, requiring

Extreme discretion in casting their spell.

The signs are clear, but they’re too often missed

Except by the few who’ll not be misled,

But must bear alone the burden of dread

Of conspiracies that do not exist.

It’s because nobody is in control

The market trembles and governments fall.

 

D. A.
