In recognition of the religious slant that the English version of "occupy this and that" (mainly Wall Street) protest has suddenly gained, I have composed this short prayer to be recounted at the alter of socialism:-
Dear protestors who art at St Pauls’,
shallow be your name.
Our kingdom’s gone,
If your will be done,
The USSR, as it was, is your idea of heaven,
Give us this day a fucking break,
Don’t forgive us our debts,
as you also have not forgiven our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation to hit you,
but deliver us from your effluence.
For thine is the media,
and the power, and the intelligentsia,
for ever and ever
Amen.
