The Twist.

You let that dog off its lead.

You stole that nation's soul.

Your alchemy conceived that behemoth.

Your secrets lost control.

You thought power made you wise.

You thought money made you master.

You thought history made you blameless.

You thought lies made you faster.

But what a state you left us.

What a globalised disaster.

Is there any taking back what's been burnt to a crisp?

Is there any loving them without any risk?

Communist, Islamist, Facist, Racist, Terrorist,

Raising a fist to exist as we all here un 'ist' plan their slap on the wrist.

And the twist is there is no twist,

This swollen gut of time is all there is.

You might do well to smile through hell.

For heaven's gate has lost its bell.
