the clarion — how to keep your paper bought
incite your customers to hate the defenceless
all the reasonable people tell ’em they’re wankers
since butter is better than fact
you tell ’em they’re intelligent
and all the reasonable people are naïve
for not detesting desperate strangers
and incoming entrepreneurs
keep your customers fearful defensive
too het to hear their many betters
too prickly to break your deception
keep ’em racist
slice their wages
the only disadvantage
causing the occasional mass–murdering war
but hey
that’s then
this is profit
