In three years

losstimeloveidentity

In three years

Divisions grew

Between left and right

What we thought was true

Was said to be lies

Experts were non-believers

Trust was given to rumour

Social media

Justin Bieber

In three years

They wanted walls

To hide behind

Whilst rich men

Played

Golf in lawned areas

Of lawful institutions

David Bowie died

And the world cried

For the Dark Star

In three years

They played on people’s fear

Lest they understood

What lay behind

The billionaire club

Self-selecting brotherhood

The boiler room

Twitter feed

Facebook meme

And paid no heed

To the experts

In three years

It was all too late

There was too much hate

The climate changed

As the whole world cried

In the three years

That have flown by

Since my

True love died.
