happy to be alive
and happy to see i am
happy to be reliving
the moments that almost brought my demise
happy not to be sighing
because that would be a bridge too far
happy not to be signing
a warrant of death like that old death star
happy to be seeing
that soon my projects revive
happy to be being
like men and women of old and yore
happy to be knowing
that claire and her team are ready to go
happy to be sowing the seeds seriously out there
of liberating forces no one shall now rue
happy to realise deeply
that me and you will be together
happy to understand steeply and proud
that spires are more than monuments of stone
happy to reassert firmer than firmly
that aspiring to do good is what we need this very minute
happy to reaffirm brighter than brightly
that our love for each other is grander indeed
happy to reach out and hold you close
as hand-in-hand we stand strong and tall as castle walls
happy to fight trump and musk and all
as big tech blows its trust and terribly falls
happy to go to europe-wide
and set it out as the most fabulous ride
happy to embrace and bring to an end
with the people who knew all along how to fend
happy to fight
shoulder-to-shoulder with them:
from viking proud to irish blood
from wily italian to timely german
from historical greeks to croatian geeks
from dutch ingenuity to belgian privacy
from patent swiss to perfecting frenchly
from spanish spontaneity and shocking invention
and the powerful retention of multiple cultures
that deliver our predictive and protective prevention
as a europe resurgent
makes a world truer than true
where an aspirational tech
serves the human first of all —
not of the human
as an investor clarion call of the baldest and foolish —
and finding itself able
to reverse all tech’s criminal business
which silicon valley has turned into the darkest of whispers
and those sibilant sounds like snakes in the chip
and the violent abuse of men who claim hip
made up of a big money ever-so-cruel
where the humans we still remain all these days
were formerly the tools of the idiots of lame
claiming powerful stages as if by every right
when in fact all they have become tonight
are the totalitarians of the shameful
full of themselves to the max
as the gruels of incarceration
trickle down the chins
of the alpha males
of a cowardly coat-tailing
whilst none of them ever
has had an original thought ever
and each of them always
copies only what they misunderstand
as tech after tech
they break what otherwise could be grand
and dismantle the good
which even they might have handed us
and so that’s exactly why
no sighs this evening
and that’s exactly why
with claire and her team of utterly amazing citizens
entirely sufficient and racing wisely to the start
with a soul and heart of fabulous core
brooking no external partners at all
and completely constructed
on our own merits and wits
and our own certainties and hits
and our own collective geniuses and genders
and people who never these days go on benders
nor sniff the lines
no crack their brains
but prefer to fight the best of fights
and make it totally right again
as lights come on to switch the game
from being these stupid
utterly mad mad men
unable to do a single thing of real
as pails and pails overflow with waters
of our cleansing truths (even where a mite haughty)
clearly showing we’re good and fine for sure
whatever the sex or gender or preferences
because what we are is better than them
and now it’s high time we roundly conquered
all the way there and beyond to that infinity
so nothing remains of their terrifying wrongs:
our final victory then of an absolutist nature
where russia and trump’s america
finally lose the battle
to be anything stupidly
as ever-so-slowly we manage
little by little
to rise to the top
as the cream often did
and reach the summits of fitting hidden forces
which all these awful people knew nothing about
because life ain’t even dimly a question yet know
of proving how much you won a war
for the truth and grandeur of all of that
lies only once won in doffing your cap
as to other wars you then move calmly on:
winning by showing only (not telling ever)
and never singing such songs (never never)
and so this is where we finally are
in secrecy plus and your secrecy astonishing
and intuitively deepening further and further
and profoundly seeking
the capabilities of tangible human beings
rarely revealed clearly before
until the day we chose to believe
that what we are and what we may become
is far far more … than the valley’s machines
