The poem below was sent to the Shaftesbury Avenue protesters:
The golden arches of greed
I see another person march
Through the dastardly golden arch
Ordering another super size Big Mac
Whilst the cue of people wait in line
To slap Ronald's greasy corporate back.
So that another obese waistline swells
Whilst ruining the future of our beautiful world
Never caring for the people they slowly kill
As long as they back away from the responsibility
For the sound of the till.
As another freeze dried piece of modified hen
Sizzles with corn in the same oil
Isn't it time that cheapskate,
Unhygienic tactics like these
Were quickly bought to the boil?
As another young child wheezes
Just adding to a populations list of diseases
By sucking in the impressionable
It's tragic the lengths you will for money
You really would put anything on the table
Hanging on any gimmick
That you mass advertise and deploy
It just seems as if the trusted public
And their health has now become your toy.
Seeing them getting hooked,
Scoffing on your junk
Watching as their moods
Swung and sunk
Anyway are we really sure what we are eating?
Maybe include that in your next meeting!
Instead of just thinking about
What you can make or save
And start considering your customers
Instead of sending them all to an early grave.
