There Is No Healing Or Democracy

 (I started to write this just five hours after the UK left the EU )

There is no healing or democracy
Without conscience and impartiality
There is no healing or democracy
If my unconscious reactions get the better of me
There is no healing or democracy
Without being manipulation or propaganda free
There is no healing or democracy
If 'active' listening is alien to me
There is no healing or democracy
With division and intolerance in ascendency
There is no healing or democracy
While red tops provoke fury and negativity
There is no healing or democracy
When money talks through ever more profanity
There is no healing or democracy
With people's lives just a game or strategy
There is no healing or democracy
If elected representatives show no integrity
There is no healing or democracy
When information given is shorn of honesty
There is no healing or democracy
When service gives way to hostility
There is no healing or democracy
if it's lies and deception that lead to victory
There is no healing or democracy
If a head of state speaks with clearly discernible insincerity.
