This is part of my EPIC Lines of Hunger in Babylon

This version is dated 25 December 2012.

I first began writing the Political Poetry 21 years ago in any detail. I had done on occasions many years before then. But 1991 was the turning point when I was moved to write in extensive detail after hearing of the cyclone that had affected the coastal south and south Western Bangladesh.

I started THOSE LINES by calling them LINES OF HINGER FROM BANGLADESH. That was in the first week of May 1991.

I then added other lines and based on the studies, field work mostly, done in the UK, I created the LINES OF HUNGER in babylon.

I use the term Babylon in moral, ethical and intellectual and in embattled solidarity with those of the African-Caribbean [and the Other Black, non-European] backgrounds who have used that word to denote the racistly oppressive Britain. 

But I add the dimension of white poor and the ordinary white people among the African, the Asian people who are violated daily by the numerical minority of whites that has the grip on the decisive power in Britain.

My work on the role played for racism by the contemporary Mir Zafar Ali Khans [June 1757] is represented in the theoretical syndrome I devised in the 1980s calling it ETHNIC SURROGATES. 

The Lines of Hunger in Babylon takes into account the role of the ETHNIC SURROGATES very much.

Like my 1991 EPIC Lines of Hunger from Bangladesh, this, the 25 December 2012 Lines of Hunger in Babylon is also written as an Epic.

I start with the composite villain that is celebrating today’s, this week’s “seasonal” excuse of a feast and is indulging. I set the evidential components around the villain. The villain has probably “earned” the latest excuse to indulge after he or she has driven another family or group of people, children out of their homes.

My Lines are in the main in the interrogative, aimed to put the villain under the rigorous questioning pressure that the villain deserves to experience.

The political characteristics of my interrogative is stated in simple. The publicly paid political positions are held by people who are in the main either morally empty or morally totally bankrupt. 

Words such as crooks, criminal,s thieves, robbers, looters etc are too often used to refer to ordinary con men and con-women. 

In order to create a distinction between the petty criminals and offenders, I have gone to the distance of creating decisively identifiably different scenarios of the real wrongdoers, criminals so that the fakery, the lying, the excuses that the bigger time crooks use can be seen and seen through.

I am very conscious of the very short-lived expression of concern by the current “Undone Mayor” Boris Johnson who had stated that he was aware of a plan for “Kosovo style social; cleansing” of London and that he was against it.

It is more than a year since Boris Johnson said that and it is as long since he was shut down by the Con Party and his Big Business [=Big Biz] controllers.

Johnson has not said much since that put down.

In fact he has not said anything at all.

Whereas here in the East End of London, ordinary people are not able to pretend that Boris Johnson’s silence will stop the attacks on our families, on our rights and our communities.

The decision by the English Boundary Commission to even propose to drop the word “Banglatown” from the officially listed name of the Tower Hamlets Council Ward “Spitalfields and Banglatown” is the latest glaring evidence of the venom that the Big Biz agenda-setters hold towards communities like the Bangladeshis.

The venom is not so obvious when it is realised against “the poor”. The “the poor” if they are white, are taken to “choose to be” poor.

this is the explanation given by those who MAKE the poor poor

This psychosis, this mental flaw, this illness is also known as contempt and hatred. 

The contempt and hatred that Conmen Cameron and Osborn reserve for those they condemn to poverty and then dismiss their humanity too

This day, Christmas Day, is supposed to be a day of piety, fellow feeling and compassion. 

It is not so if the evidence of Conmen Cameron and Osborne's agenda of attacks on the poor is any guide.

Millions of people in Britain are being robbed of their basic human rights

As the “row” over Cameron’s treacherous behaviour to Andrew Mitchell has showed, there is no honesty, morality in the political character of Dave Cameron.

He is quite happy to throw Mitchell to the wolves [as has been pointed out by the DAILY MAIL, in a column] as long as, so Cameron thought, such treachery would secure him, Cameron, his place.

Likewise, Cameron has been exposed in the year during the “Leveson evidence” that he was in the context of his Constitutional, Democratic, Parliament role and positions unhealthily close to Rebekah Brooks in more than one untenable, unconstitutional particular and that his proximity to Rebekah Brooks had all the hallmarks of a man driven by the greed for power, the greed for office and the greed to stay in such office

It also shows Cameron to have scant regard or respect for the requirements of Constitutionality

How else was he sending so many, politically untenably explicit texts to a “mere” member of the public that Rebekah legally was and is?

It showed Cameron as being smarmier than he looked

Most certainly smarmier than he looked as he addressed the Toynbee Hall last year when he “unfurled” the attacks on “the poor” under the banner of “Welfare Reform”.

Reform that deform Society

Hence my phrase: Welfare Deform!

Cameron could not have known at that time that his “mate” Rebekah Brooks was destined to expose him to the kind of ridicule that she did do

Yet he has NOT betrayed her! 

Unlike his ditching of Mitchell!

[These lines will continue for the duration of the “christmas and New Year” “Season” 2012-2013]

So you say you care?

So you say you care!

So you say you care.

So you say you care?

Prove it to me if you do

Show to me that you do

Say it to me that you do

Out loud truly if you do!

You say you care?

Name them for whom you care

Name them even once if you care

Name anyone from anywhere

Just name the one if you ever care

Name them from here

Name them from anywhere

Name them just generally

Name them plain universally

Name them in pure nouns

Name them by their home towns

Name them by their general states

Name them by their woeful fates

Name them as their parents would

Name them purely if you would

Name them as if you feel their lives

Name them as if you feel their hives Name them as if you gave them birth

Name them as if you felt the mirth

Name them as if you feel anguished

Name the moment they all vanished

Name the feeling of victory you had

as you drove them into hiding

as you took the drugs and went mad

Name the time you went chiding

away at the targets of your hate

Name the time you did berate

them as you hounded them out of their house

Name the law you had to treat them as louse

Name the day you took it on yourself to lie

Name the basis on which you assumed to lie

Name the book the rule the reason for your lying

Name the cause you CAN name for your toxic lying

Name the person personnel or the group that gave you backing

Name the one reason why you should avoid the coming sacking.
