The Stalins
Stalin ain’t my darlin’
‘Cos his moral contradictions
Transgress all the interdictions
That the means must be consistent
With the ends
I am insistent
It was Martin Luther King
Who said it clearly
It’s a thing that is immutable
It’s completely indisputable
Despite it being rarer
Than a shame-faced Tony Blair-er
Because you cannot found democracy
On demonstrable hypocrisy
You cannot stop the wart on Terry
With a terrorist conspira-sary
It’s like making up new words
Just to make the poem scan
Although neologisms rarely kill
The numbers that the Stalins can.
