We say current affairs but how current do you want to be?
The last 24 Hours or the last 50 odd years watching steadily
The current affairs unfold in places like Gaza, Rafah
Where the children’s bodies were set alight inside 
Their own tents hiding from the firebombs of Israel.
Where the orders were given to kill the children
Watched in horror by millions on TikTok as it happened.
Do we want a live Genocide to be the current affairs?

We say current but many affairs are decades in history
Like the greed of the Monarchy exposed last Friday on TV
By Dispatches who showed the contempt of the King
As he pocketed millions in rent from Hospitals Schools
In the Duchy of Cornwall, charging the Armed forces
Millions in rent – the current affairs surrounding his son
William who rents out substandard housing and upon
Our screens he speaks of the homelessness in the UK.

We see the current affairs of hypocrites liars murderers
Politicians psychopaths we don’t blink an eye though do we?
Current affairs are too horrendous for most people to see
So calmly they return to their football, celebs and idiocy.
Current affairs of the skies that are blotted out by chemicals
As an experiment for what, for who, by whom madness is all,
Presenting Current affairs is more important than the affairs
To slough people to thinking – well it’s always been this way.
