Fasting in London in a climate of illegality by ministers and Blair!
Ramadan in AD 2005!
AH 1426!

Day 6 Sunday 9 October 2005
0330 Hrs GMT London


Extracts:

“…

There is a community
Of nearly two billion
People in the world
Going through the
Month of `Ramadan

Most of the fasters
Are reflecting on
This life
On the world

It is hard to not notice the
Absence on the BBC of all references
To this huge
EventEver was.

Just as Terry Wogan
Enjoyed another undeserved
Platform
To parade indifference
To the hungry and the starved
And backed the tirade
Against compassion
And fellow feelings
And pointedly pressed
For the acceptance
Of
‘Compassion fatigue’
So are the massed servers
Of selfishness
Gathered in
Rooms of
Accredited
Accomplices
Complicit in the
Ongoing war on truth
Ongoing war on rights
Ongoing war on justice
Ongoing war on humanity
Now retelling tales
And making up plausible
Scenarios
To push the lie
To dignify the lie
To legitimize the lie
To the effect
That the lessons
Of thousands of years
Of battles for the
Establishment of
The still tentative
Concept of the rule of law
Can be scrapped

That what is?
Proposed as human rights
Can be ignored
That the universalism
Of humanity can be
Abandoned
That respect
That word again!
Respect for the individual
Can be ditched

So long as that suits
Tony Blair
Or an increasingly
Imitating
Prime Minister-in waiting

And the BBC-appointed
Oracles [!] of what
Is morality?
Like the panels
Of prejudiced
Pretenders
Playing at
Solving the moral
Dilemmas
Can perpetrate
Lies under
Covers of
The BBC screens
Or under the banners
Of the Daily Mail

So long as no one
Notices they’re blatant
‘British’ duplicity
Or their routine
Immoral complicity
With the acts of
Deceiving the
Majority of their
‘British’ community!


The review of the “British press’
Is never a review of what the press?
Routinely hides and does suppress
From the ‘British’ public
Be it under what used to be
Called the D-Notice
Or whatever is now its
Equivalent
Counterpart
Plausible
Cover for lying
To the people

The totally illegal
Totally unjustified
Totally corrupt
Bands of brainwasher
Broadcasters
Are provided with
Platforms every day

To lie top the people
On behalf of the
Brainwashers
Who praise
And complement
One another
