A Poem - What a Performance!

in glastonbury •  5 years ago 

Performative Corbyn,
Perfomatively performing behind gated walls
Performatively telling the mainly white English middle class
How much they don't like walls

Mainly white English middle class
Performatively sucking off Stormzy's melanin
Wearing his performative (Union flag laden stab vest) Banksy
Performatively shouting "fuck Boris"

Performatively knowing that the performance is enough
To never have to actually address or consider knife crime
To never have to actually address or consider walls
What a performance!
