Future

A cripple sits with begging bowl
Cracked church bells lonely toll.

Multi-coloured starfish swimming blind
Trampled crabs chew bacon grinds.

Fossilised nuns in kneeling position
Christianity on a hopeless mission.

National debts are still immense
Quislings sit on a splintered fence.

Mutants drum in purple tights
With side effects from disco lights.

Ice packed stairways lead nowhere
Nuclear fuels pollute the air.
