Easter Lockdown Special

I

coconuts are shy

only black on the outside

I’m the opposite

stopped deleting my

darkest tweets & vilest deeds

drunk to killing cells

hear me out you dumb

learn what rotten things I’ve been

from the age of five

yes confession time

you don’t want to know OK

telling anyhow

shot the Kennedys

back in the Sixties my room

overlooked the scene

II

I was whispering

in the fat dictator’s ear

forty years before

he was ill disposed

coulda had the jerk deposed

if it suited me

used him like a dog

guarding secret moves I’d made

undermining states

Germany came next

yes the devil is my slave

though he’s never known

worships me of old

sent his son to round you up

meet the Holy Ghost

III

by the way I’m dead

never been alive in fact

only passing through

iteration imp

teen a copulation clone

just a rolling stone

plain detritus dressed

up in spiky clothing best

casting me aside

but you can’t I find

out & then come round with friends

called The Communards

sitting on your bed

sure we’ll get along in time

choke like nuts on wine

IV

Mary had a lamb

fleece so white an old man’s beard

wouldna been as weird

slaughtered it in cold

blood though butter wouldn’t melt

innocently she

sold the world its chops

gave the heart to kingpins cops

got the offal box

those who ate his meat

straight became these hands and feet

Mary was the brains

oh what fun was had

meddling with her worshippers

still they call me Lord

V

curses are my ace

spadework dating back at least

two millennia

Pilate sealed his fate

on my watch the boy did great

washed his hands in wine

then we moved the Jews

split their land with Arabs Druze

poor Samaritans

waited till the Romans got

faith then let some other cats

overrun the place

promises I kept

saying do this after tea

take some flesh & blood

VI

now my China plot

jumped from bats to pangolins

in the market down

Wuhan way to score

Zoonosis my new name

old magician’s game

not the CIA

don’t believe a thing I say

look to what I do

world disruption got

loads of planets on the go

galaxies of stars

what you’re up against

ain’t no leap of faith the truth

beggars all belief

VII

here’s the spoiler sex

reproduction is the key

I’m recycled waste

all you gotta do’s

rule me out I’m not your dude

segregate my lines

don’t get married young

wear a condom play the field

cell by cell I mean

universe ain’t bad

evil thing is sweeping thugs

under silken rugs

else you’ll get a fake

chocolate Easter Egg like me

Busg’ll rule the world

Nnnnnnn!
