Rhyme For Our Time

Xi has led the race we

won’t forget Has brought disaster

and regret Will suffer censure and the

price he’ll have to pay. He’s brought the whole

world to its knees Closed pubs, shops, factories, Churches, schools

and libraries And turned our spring and

summer into winter’s grey. Xi’s the bully from the east Who’s caused a famine,

not a feast, Has turned each day, week

and month into a living hell. He will try to pass the buck Claim coronavirus was

just luck

He was blameless when

it struck Denying scientists the right

to tell. Xi rules China like a god His subjects are ill-fed and

poorly shod No one’s allowed to see or

hear them when they cry. They work long hours with

little rest, Are told their enemies

lie west, Denied the right to

hold protest, Their organs sold for profit

when they die. Xi buys up our schools, golf

courses, banks,

Our stately homes, aircraft

and tanks And floods world markets

with his low-grade steel. Xi hopes to send in spies Using Huawei as his guise Zooming hundreds of his lies To rule the world and bring

us all to heel. Xi will claim he’s done

no wrong Sending troops into

Hong Kong, Seizing lands throughout the

South China Sea. He interferes inside Tibet, Poses Taiwan a real threat, Thinking all these crimes we

will forget. Wolf Warrior’s real name

is Xi. Yes, Xi!
