Values

What are these Western Values

of which you speak?

I’ve looked for them

Universally across the people

But they change all the time

Depending on those with the purse strings

and those who just complain,

and those who want to drag us back in time

and there is still the steeple

and the constant talk of evil,

despite nobody believing any more.

So, then we’re left with,

Money and footy and shopping,

Wars and those who fight in them

Bigger cars, bigger houses, and social climbing,

And those who are famous we hang off,

While we’re blaming the government for everything we got wrong.
