Subjected/ subjugated
A lyric taken from the Alice Cooper lyric “elected" 1972
He’s your top prime cut of meat?
He’s your choice?
(image orange fat bloke waving)
You want to be subjected?
(image people flag waving)
He’s your Yankee doodle dandy in a gold rolls Royce!
(images of Pinochet in an open to car, Uncle Sam poster, soldiers and police shooting civilians.)
Subjugation, subjugation, subjugation,
(woven around images of military planes, bombs and rich Etonion possible pig lovers on their i-pads and I phones)
Coz you don’t want a leader, you just want a fake!
(orange man raises his hand in a wave more images of violence on the streets)
Your now subjugated!
(orange man shaking hands with a famous rubbish rap star that might be K.W or H.G)
An wer’e all gonna quake
At the world he’s gonna make (images of Nazi storm troopers marching)
Now he’s elected
(images of corrupt leaders smiling and shaking hands)
(We’re) subjugated, subjected,
Isolated, rejected, coz he’s been elected!
He’s always lied to you and always been a fool
(orange faced man smiling greedily, burst oil pipe lines leaking oil tanks and images of the stock market crash)
but now we’re now subjugated
(images of hungry children)
Shit, he’ been given the vote, now that’s not fucking cool
(images of fracking stations and the bombing of anywhere. And everywhere)
We’re facing subjugation
(images of the Uk flag and the American flag blending with the Nazi flag)
We’re gonna be subjugated, subjugated, subjugated!
Hallelujah?
(image of nuke missiles firing into the sky and atomic explosions)
He’s fucking been selected?
(Greg Stillson shouting in a dressing gown)
Everyone’s in the united conglomeration amalgamation of Trumpton!
He’s gone and done it! Taken the nation by storm!
(images of lots of Nazi salutes)
Hell yes! we’re now subjugated
(more images of Nazis stomping about )
Him and him together, it’s just so fucking wrong!
(image of orange bloke, his right-wing nutter mate and a load of spoilt rich kids giving a Nazi salute in some bar in Washington DC People starving holding out hands for food. Spikes on benches)
we are now under subjugation
(money changing hands. greedy corrupt politicians, planes exploding, police hitting citizens)
Subjugation, subjugation, subjugation,
( images of bombing, fracking, and stock market crashes)
We are now under subjugation subjection rejection
And are disconnected wall- ejected, rejected
( Images: nuclear missiles firing from bases and hitting the planet as the earth cracks apart like an egg)
Coz he’s gone and got elected!
And now he’s elected
He’s forming a new party
From the old party
A third way party
A nasty party!
Yes we got problems here in central city
We have problems in the North south east and west
New York, Dallas, Saint, louis, Los Angeles,
That town that used to make cars and is now a ghost,
Of course, you have problems,
But he, but he don’t care, but he, but he don’ give a fuck.

I found the insertion of
I found the insertion of images jarring at first but when I got used to them it gave a powerful effect akin to 'We didn't start the fire.'

A punk protest poem that runs
A punk protest poem that runs amok upon the page swinging a baseball bat of invective.
I also liked the way you cut to images in your poem as if it were the script of a tv news broadcast. I thought that was quite innovative and gave the poem a fast paced, fractured feel.
