Austerity
Austerity has done for me; we’ve never had it so bad.
With food banks and poverty, only the rich feel glad.
Capitalism creates inequality as the country’s wealth is drained
To off-shore tax havens oversea, as social cohesion’s strained.
The government is overseeing a system that is corrupt
The wealthy have brought it into being, slowly, not abrupt.
But they saw themselves re-elected, despite all that they have done.
Leaving the country so dejected while they cavort and have their fun.
A number directly profited from the mayhem they have sown.
They should have muzzles fitted and never be allowed out alone!

It says it all for me. We have created such inequality that in one of the richest countries on the planet we have food banks, homelessness and zero-hours workers on basic pay, while the wealthy buy yachts, penthouses and .
The USA is even worse. There is no safety net. Those that don’t make it are discarded as jetsam.
What a sad, uncaring world we are creating.
The Tories bring in austerity for the poor, fleece the public services, so that they can give tax cuts to the wealthy and corporations.
The rich get richer and the poor end up starving.
Something stinks.
