Where We Are
First posted on April 29, 2013
Bedrooms: taxed.
Benefits: capped.
NHS: privatised.
Legal Aid: capsized.
Rights? Being scrapped.
Tramping down.
Clamping down.
Liars seeding,
Feeding
Lies to lies.
Trap and tap the populace,
So easily despised.
Thank the finest boys of Eton
For the food stamps you are needing.
Growth?
Offshore.
Investment opportunities galore!
If you are rich…
‘Ain’t life a bitch –
Getting tax cuts –
Profiteering from the poor?
Oh… and war.
Children homogenised.
Processed fate.
State-groomed serfdom –
Ripening hate.
Confidence: none.
Hope…
Nope.
Still…
Some things are new, under this sun:
Survival is living;
Taking is giving;
Judgement means caring;
And inequality?
Well, that’s for sharing.
