Ain’t it all a bleeding shame? – a poem

Ain’t it all a bleeding shame?

 

White boys languishing.

Black boys being shot.

Immigrants castigated.

They don’t give a jot.

 

Business running politics.

Backhanders on the bench.

Money buys integrity.

I can smell the stench.

I was hearing how it is the poor white boys who are doing badly at school while black boys are being shot in gangs. They can all blame it on the immigrants but the MPs don’t really care. As long as they get their cash and get to go through the door into a future lucrative career.

Big business, with their lobbying, bribes and offer of jobs, are running the show.

The politicians are self-serving and happy to follow the money.

We’re all in it together – How much is Osborne earning now?
