political poem
-
Divide and conquer,Divide and rule,March in line,Goosestep fool. Scream and shout,Remove all doubt,Blindly follow,Kneel and swallow. Close your eyes,Close your mind,Bought the liesOf the maligned. Turn the page,Directed rage,Foaming mouth,Truth’s gone south. Do as you’re told,Fit the mold,The rot sets in,Hateful sin. Ensnared now,Suckling sow,Lined for slaughter,Law and order.

Hope lies dead.

Cry out in despair as our futures reduced to ash Prosperity for the powerful, poverty for all The absurdity goes right to the core of the system Obscurity of the button pushing power plays Jack out remove your social programming Subservient like a Victorian servant It’s not prim and proper to make demands Your betters

On benefits struggling to pay bills We stand with you! Single mother working two jobs We stand with you! Grieving over the austerity kills We stand with you! Victim of the callous cuts We stand with you! Home made cell We stand with you! Freezing to death We stand with you! Empty cupboards We stand

Magic money tree give us a war some trident missiles plus the bankers want more Oh magic money tree we can’t do without the fruits of our labour give us the benefit of the doubt Magic money tree Its an autumn of austerity A winter of discontent Magic money tree decimated a decade
