Empty plates

Once upon a time we jingled the coins in a pocket, a loss of magnitude that cannot simply be realised, half crowns and shillings, sixpence and pence. So rich we felt with half a crown and even a sixpence to buy sweets at the shop on the corner of our busy, children in the road… Continue reading Empty plates

Do they even care?

Sewage on our beaches government beyond our reaches, history did not teach us and now they cling like leeches, —- feeding off the poor,  slamming shut the door, hunger comes with a roar and they say they’re sticking to the law. — Crisis costs will rise,  Will they hear the dying sighs? Will they finally… Continue reading Do they even care?

Poverty and Wealth 2022 style

Gaunt faces, Belsen like, shivering in Oxam coats  and parcels of food in Red Cross Boxes, schools struggling to open, free dinners lost and hospitals stretched, homes wrecked and breaking, while the MPs and corporations  sit counting their profits and refusing to see the results of rabid greed and sleep easy  in their clean warm… Continue reading Poverty and Wealth 2022 style

The Tory Party’s .

Grief

Death comes oh so slowly for some, whispering in each struggling breath, holding them in its grip but tightly not letting them go to their freedom, gasping for air, painful frowns as medication is measured and relief is sought, but death comes too slow. === Death is sudden. Like a fist to the gut. No… Continue reading Grief

Super Wealth and Destructive Politics.

Ruinous Governments

Its a war on words and ideas that are just, they make a pact and renegade on the fact  that you agreed their wielded written word’s; scorn you and laugh at your confusion and plot your demise, descending hope falls broken, and to cope is through tears, heartbreak and blood shed on your doorstep. ——-… Continue reading Ruinous Governments

Cruelty in Politics

The knives are out and the dissection started, Each knowing and set their direction signalled.. Tax cuts or higher tax to quell the over wealthy as they lean in and offer or finger their purses. Each one turning the tory vice on their victims: a family, school children, refugees and workers, the struggling overwhelmed by… Continue reading Cruelty in Politics
