Motorway by Roger McGough

The politicians,
(who are buying huge cars with hobnailed wheels
                the size of merry-go-rounds)
                have a new plan.
                They are going to
                put cobbles
                in our eyesockets
                and pebbles
                in our navels
                and fill us up
                with asphalt
                and lay us
                side by side
so that we can take a more active part
                in the road
                to destruction.
