A poem a week for 2012 - A record of a year in the life of...

...The Red Queen - A tax on intelligence by the dumb

Red queen paradigm.

Short puffy legs run forward
In a charge for progress blind
Vision leers at us through pink spectacles.
Inching gaps force collision, 
Cracks coalition, 
Creates class division, 
Snorts of derision, bad decision...

Red queen paradigm.
Cheshire cat grimaces at tax
Avoidances by top performances,
Checks on bonuses, 
Financial prudence as 
Top banks' ranks 
fall off cliffs- adding 
To the growing pile of stiffs 
waiting for the funeral pyre...

Whilst in reality, 
The ordinary sit stationary, 
Huddling, muddling, 
Counting CSEs in council houses
- Refugees of government crises,
Leftovers of academic continents, 
Burning certificates as monuments
To outstanding stupidity...

- And to keep warm...
The red queen keeps running
