How to pronounce "potpourri"

because the paper propaganda propagates the people's prejudices,

papers printing pictures of the photogenic terrorists.

A little paper me. And a little paper you.

And in a pop-up population people’s problems pop up too.

There’d be a pompous paper parliament who remained out of touch,

and who ignored the people's protests about all the paper cuts,

then the peaceful paper protests would get blown to paper pieces,

by the confetti cannons manned by pre-emptive police.

And yes there’d still be paper money, so there’d still be paper greed,

and the paper piggy bankers pocketing more than they need,

purchasing the potpourri to pepper their paper properties,

others live in poverty and ain’t acknowledged properly.

A proper poor economy where so many are proper poor,

but while their needs are ignored the money goes to big wars.

Origami armies unfold plans for paper planes

and we remain imprisoned in our own paper chains,

but the greater shame is that it always seems to stay the same,

what changes is who’s in power choosing how to lay the blame,

they’re naming names, forgetting these are names of people,

because in the end it all comes down to people.

I like people.
