National Wealth Service?

I do not want to lie under accountants sheets
when my body rattles out its failing beats.
Nor do I want to pay for every brick
on those, sad days, when I am feeling sick.
I do not want the most important thing
to be the amount of money that I bring.
I do not think the currency of health
should be determined by your misers wealth.

I couldn’t care less where the nurse was born
who cares for me when I am so forlorn.
It doesn’t matter if I’m rich or poor -
that shouldn’t be the question at the door.
This should be free at point of entry for all,
not at some privileged chancer’s beck and call
to do with as he deems fit to raise some cash.
We cannot let them be so myopic and rash.

Claim back the NHS and do it now
don’t let it become a Conservative cash cow.
Employ more doctors, treat our nurses well,
Inject your cash and let your children tell
of how their parents did not give up the fight,
defied those who would take away their birthright,
went to the polling stations and ticked the box
that kept the henhouse safe from the Tory fox.
