Zugzwang is a zeitgeist word
Situation now absurd,
There is nowhere left to turn,
Every option crash and burn.
Capitalists in the shit,
Can we make the most of it?
Dodgy academia,
Propping up the media,
One more televised fraudcast,
Engineer a new fly past
Trouble in the tea room soon
Calls to ditch the blonde buffoon.
He says the troops can backfill
Shortcomings of the Old Bill
His warning stands, don’t break rules,
Exponential growth you fools.
Spread the fear, around, around,
Never ending new lockdown.
Stuck upon this roundabout
Feels there’s no easy way out.
We’re stuck inside a Zugzwang,
Heading for one great big bang.

Zugzwang (Noun) Being forced by circumstances to do something which you do not wish to do. Where whatever move you make it ends up bad.
