for the Colonial Office
The Presumption in
Wake-Up Calls
A wake-up call is but a manifesto
Retro 1968 but less literate
Demanding that the world pay attention
To the temper-tantrums of some middle-aged guy
Who knows all about guns ‘n’ bombs ‘n’ stuff
While the rest of us know all about raising our kids
Working 12-hour shifts, paying our bills
Building our lives, and taking care of each other
The rest of us have grown-up things to do
The presumptuous waker-upper
Should ditch his childish ego and wake up himself
