How Many Good Men....

How many Good men in positions of might
do the 3 Monkeys thing and keep their mouths zipped up tight?
Waiting and sweating till the big day arrives
when they're handed their pension and they and their wives
can swan off to the high-life and live guilt-free lives?

Banana plantations and hours on the green,
round-the-world cruises and things that don't mean
much to the poor who still can be seen
homeless and battling to earn just a bean.

How easy it is to sit back and ignore
the corruption around them when just round the door
a handshake awaits them, a sack filled with gold
and a life lived like Riley - the truth Never told.

There was Howard, Johan, Martin and Chris
just a few of the many who chose to do this.
An offer so tempting it could not be refused
from making decisions they would be recused.

So deaf, dumb and blind they became in a trice
with morals shut down they went quiet as mice.
They chose to believe all the lies they were fed
in spite of misgivings their goal lay ahead.
A happy retirement and huge wealth untold
will bring even the best to the Devil's own Fold.

But Big Brother is busy, to busy to care.
His plans are much grander and the costs you will bear.
Everything that you say, every deed that you do
Will be monitored neatly in a file labelled "YOU".

So if Collin and Allen were to switch on the Mains
which one would be Pinky and which one the Brainz?

Interesting thing about Mrs. Cynthia Hinds. In our correspondence in the nineties, she said that in all her years of investigating reported UFO sightings for MUFON Africa, she herself had never witnessed anything out of the ordinary.
And there she was, down from her home town Harare and booked into a room at the Blue Waters Hotel to attend some sort of symposium/seminar.
First I heard of it was when i rang the Daily News one morning to find out more about the weird stuff Id seen between 5.45am and 6am earlier that morning. They advised me to contact Mrs. Hind and gave me the Blue Waters number.
Les Franken who was at the time a DJ on East Coast Radio had announced earlier that morning that he had been on his way to work in the dark with his son riding pillion. Riding along the Blue Lagoon section of Marine Parade they had company. He said a ball of light appeared to be keeping pace right next to them as they rode along towards Natal Command and he asked whether anyone had ideas about what it could have been. The Daily News also told me that Len Rimmer of Rimmer Construction had phoned with a similar enquiry. He had been jogging in Westville in the dark and had seen the same ball of light.
Basically i just want to point out the irony of it all. Mrs. Hind had Never seen any weird phenomenon in all her years of research and there they were dancing along the Marine Parade right by the Blue Waters Hotel while she no doubt slept soundly. Eish !
