government

well this is about the changes to the welfare benefits, and all how the common people in the UK r going to be affected.

is the people

by the people

and

for the people

*not my words, Abraham Lincoln's*

 

so if they are for the people

why neglect us now?

Ok, i guess i get it now

you are for the people when its all smooth

when the getting gets rough you back out.

 

 

so who are you then??

the government.

nah, you know what i call that,

COWARDS!!

 

All cowards all to trying 

to hide in the big picture of

saving the nation from its *deficit* budget.

so who are you?

HEROES now?

 

but as i see it now,

its getting worse.. the economy is rotting

letting your people suffer

you think its the only way out?

 

yeh, i understand and empathise with you

you have had hard decisions to make.

but squeezing every pennies out of people's pockets is worse

i thibk what we need now is more pennies in people's pockets

increase the spenind thus the demand.

 

but dont you think its

only fair if we all endured the same...

the politicians bare the same as their people...

just saying MR Cameroon sir...

Great ! I love poetry about real issues, and as a Brit living in Germany who follows this I am appalled about what has happened in Britain, bed room tax, cuts in benefits, all this BS from CA-moron and cronies. The only good news this week is that MT will be put under the earth, albeit it for ten million that we need for children and the elderly...
a fine poem that cheers me up no end, that young people in Britain fight back...
