Is there no limit to what you’ll do?
Is there no morality at all to be found?
Is your decision Conservative Blue,
you’ll sell whatever to raise a quick pound
Last time Maggie Thatcher sold all she could
the Utilities went, and she saw it was good,
She sold out the miners, small business’s too
but what the heck, that’s not important to you.
The Fat Cat’s of Business are in total control
they keep to the shadows, the Party Bankroll
they care not for who will be drowned in the mire
as the cuts are forced through, put all to the fire.
“Sell off the country, sell Greenbelt land”
sell anything profitable for those in command
NO worries of the poor and forget the old
change the NHS, leave them out in the cold..
Sell off our Forests …to Private Concerns too
restrictions to us, we won’t walk free as we do,
no Country hikes, they’ve worked with such guile
give them an inch, they’ll take the whole mile.
When will we learn, Politicians lack souls?
they do things for profit and personal goals
they’ll strip us bare to keep the country afloat,
when we finally sink, they’ll have their own boat.

Pen, I did this a few days ago and did it also for a vote against catching, killing and throwing back dead fish. Did you know about that one? There's a whole vid on it in youtube. Sickening but interesting.
ReplyDeleteYour poem was great and right on the money. I want to know when YOU are going to run for a seat!
XOXOXO
Great job on this one Pen. Change some of the words around and it could apply to our government.

Pen gets political! Great stuff. I'm with you all the way. The government is sick. If they sell of the Forestry land then the entire mountain behind our house will be in private hands. That's my dog's walking land! Leave off!
ReplyDeleteWell done Pen, send it in to no 10, Ive signed three petitions on the Forest proposals, cheeky b***rs, who the hell do they think they are, it's Britain they're selling off, not just the trees.
ReplyDeleteI live 5 miles from the New Forest, and as you can imagine, there's a heckuva rant going on down this way, and the Fat cats, grrrrrrrrrrrrr, set tango, Ruby and Bess on them. Hugs to the dear girl XXX
