Civilised?
Civilised
We are judged by how we live, not who we are,
yet thousands sleep on the street every night.
Memebers of Parliament earn thousands,
and do not represent us.
How can they when they do not live like us?
Ex Servicemen to gave their lives,
immigrants flee persecution.
All washed up as the flotsam of humanity,
on our shores.
The victims of avarice and contempt,
And those in power do not care.
The day of reckoning is nigh,
we cannot hold back the tide.
Justice demands action now
from those in idle power.
Or else we take control
and say no more.
Soon!

Powerfully written, Keith. This deserves to be widely read and recognised. The ending lines are fiery-
"Justice demands action now
from those in idle power.
Or else we take control
and say no more."
Thank you.
