Sadly It’s All True…A Poem By Bob Shepherd

You’re working class and smoking dope

C’mon sir, please give me a chance…nope

You’re privileged and pampered doing a line

That’s OK, carry on, everything’s just fine

Today’s Conservatives and Labour are two cheeks of the same arse

Working for big business and not the electorate is a complete farce

Making $$$$$ from war is not a new game

But to carry it on today is just an utter shame

They could secure our border against the Nazi regime

It would be easy for them to put together a team

That ensures those who want to come to our shores

Are the right people to walk through our doors

The NHS was once world renowned

Atlee and his team deserved to be crowned

But through the decades of mismanagement it’s drowned

Yet we cannot go the American way

Where seeing a doctor through a for profit insurance company is there to stay

Britain once proud of an electorate safety net

Ex military, or lost your job, please don’t fret

Britain once proud of all that we made

Would put most countries around the world in the shade

Ships, aircraft, cars to lemonade

One by one it all began to fade

That was the time to say no to a workforce overseas

Bigger profits for the ownerships please

Great cities and towns on their arse

A good education and jobs for the working classes became sparse

The high street was bustling no more

The pubs are closing…no roar

So when oh when do we all shout and rise

To make Britain great as the ultimate prize?
