We are where we are.

We’re a planet, not a star! 

Global peace?

Carbon neutral?

It’s fair to say, 

We need to raise the bar.

Still, we are where we are.

 

Can you afford an electric car?

Is renewable energy on the way?

Which of us will be able to pay?

Who’s forking out for the cladding

On all those high-rise towers?

Where are we with H.S.2?

Someone needs to think this through!

It can’t just be left to me and you!

I would say Boris…

But as you can see that line’s incomplete, 

As he couldn’t organise a (secret) booze up

On Downing Street!

 

The levelling up plan

Hasn’t gone very far.

From where I am sitting

It has gone down the pan!

We’re still living amongst

Our post-industrial scars.

We’re in the North of England.

We are where we are!
