Donations are essential to keep Write Out Loud going    

Reality

 

We never caused all this deficit,

not us honest, hard grafting workers.

Mr. Cameron, you talk of losses,

find the tax-evading rich shirkers!

The biggest problem was the bankers

yet you bailed them out with our money,

now they help themselves to bonuses

so fat that we don’t find it funny.

You seem to expect us have-nots to pay

in spite of the fact we have-not,

there should be a clue in the name there

whether you happen to like it or not!

Governments should not be above the law,

if only we could take you to court,

you’d be told we don’t have the wherewithal,

and besides this, it isn’t our fault!

Thank you Lynn for commenting on my poem 'Dusty Tears'.
I love your poem here and I have noticed that you do Irony so beautifully and with precision.
As poets, I believe that we have the chance to elicit change even by winning over only one heart at a time, and it is like a pebble in a pond.
Keep throwing those pebbles.

as long as they keep off our pies
we dont mind,because we keep
what little savings we have
in fifty suitcases-haha!
