The journey will begin on Tuesday,

everyone is desperate for a seat,

A chance to walk among them,

to see if it really is that bleak.

~

It won’t be around for much longer,

not the way some like to behave.

At last there’s a chance to visit,

before they destroy their own home.

~

Travelling by intergalactic railway,

we’ve called it the Crazy Train.

Those that live where we’re going,

have long since lost their minds.

~

We tune in at night in our millions,

to watch the madness unfold,

The highest rated reality show,

our world has ever seen.

~

The things that they get up to,

get more outrageous each day.

We mostly laugh at their antics,

but it can be desperately sad.

~

Although they look a lot like us,

That’s where the similarity ends.

We would never make judgments,

on who someone chooses to love.

~

A lot of them seem to be followers

of this guy who lives down our street.

Respects are paid on a Sunday,

while he is still fast asleep.

~

They do like a good fall out,

over the strangest of things.

Like who is best at mass murder,

or who can fell the most trees.

~

Ask them to judge a cake though,

and they come over all civilised.

There’s no way anyone from here,

accepts their sponge is too dry.

~

They let charlatans lead their people,

who share all the wealth with a few.

Rarely stopping to ask questions,

as to why so many are in pain.

~

So it’s all aboard the Crazy Train,

heading to the world of the bizarre.

With excitement and some trepidation,

our destination is Planet Earth 🌎.
