14 Years of Cuts!!

You can’t undo that in 5 minutes!

It’s going to take a lot of money!

Capitalism

Inequality

Inequality

Some live in mansions.

Some live in shacks.

Some live out on the streets

With nothing on their backs.

Some work for a penny.

Some for a million pounds.

Some think it’s unfair.

But you rarely hear the sounds.

Some are born to riches.

Some have it hard.

Some do nothing wrong

Yet they still get fired.

Some exploit others

Spreading misery.

Some try their hardest

But still live in poverty.

Those with the power

Make all the rules.

Extract all the profit;

Treat us like fools.

To them we are minions

To be bossed around.

We deserve nothing

As they crush us in the ground.

They’ve built up this system,

Impossible to change,

In which they just get richer.

TIME FOR A CHANGE!!

Opher 13.12.2023

Inequality is artificial. We create it.

What can be created can be uncreated.

The system we live in was created by the rich for the benefit of the rich.

They believe they are superior to us and deserve more.

I say we are all equal.

Time to change!

A Poem for the stinking rich!

Capitalism Kills

Capitalism is killing the planet.

We should all rise up and ban it!

A system based on wealth and greed

Is really not what we need.

Clawing up the earth chopping down the trees

Bringing the planet down to its knees.

There has to be a better way than this

For us all to co-exist.

Accumulating stuff and throwing it away

Without a thought for the very next day.

Sixty per cent of everything has already gone.

Something, surely tells us this is wrong.

There has to be a better way

For us to live together and be OK.

We’re killing all the creatures stealing their homes

To fill our front yard with garden gnomes.

More Growth for the Fat Cats!!

Poetry for fairness

That’s what the Tories do!

They cut public services.

They cut money to the needy.

They bring in austerity.

They give huge amounts of our money to profiteers and wealthy bankers!!

Tory WAR on Public Servants.

For twelve years the Tories have waged war on Public servants.

They have slashed services, cut pay and reduced working conditions.

The Cost of Living crisis has exposed the problem.

Our public servants, nurses, teachers, border staff, fire brigade, paramedics, ambulance service, police, civil servants and others have been backed into a corner. There are huge staff shortages which means their workload is through the roof.. They do not earn enough to support their family, put a roof over their heads, feed, clothe and keep warm.

The public servants are seen as parasites by the Tories.

They do not (directly) produce wealth – so they are viewed as second-class citizens.

The Public servants are not parasites. We saw that in the pandemic. Without a good NHS, education, police force, border control and civil service this country is buggered!!

Stop giving multi-million pound handouts to the wealthy and start paying working people properly.

The Tories don’t need them. They have their private health care. They use private security firms. They have private education. They live in gated communities. They travel first class.

The public services are for the plebs. The less they pay for them the better. The plebs are there to work for as near to nothing as possible, to be exploited and then conned into voting Tory by the tabloid press.

As for public services – who needs ’em?

I think the whole public sector should come together with other sympathetic workers and do a mass resignation. If all of those, recently deemed ESSENTIAL workers, were to walk away en masse we might just end up with a better, fairer, more equal society.

For twelve years we’ve had a Tory government stealing from the poor, needy and public services to give to the rich.

Most of that wealth is now in tax havens off-shore!

It’s time this was put right!

A general strike or a mass resignation!!

FAIRER BRITAIN!!

Without a good, well-resourced, well-paid public services this country is in a mess!! It won’t get right until we get out priorities right!

Stop reading the SUN, TELEGRAPH, MAIL, EXPRESS and TIMES!!! Lies and propaganda!
BROKEN BRITAIN!!

In Broken Britain the Populist Tories have sold us all down the river. Prices are through the roof. They are a bunch of thieving profiteers!!

The Land Of The Free

The Land Of The Free

In the land of the free

                You are brought up

                                To do as you are told.

Conform to the norm,

                Salute the flag,

                                Take the oath,

Pray to an invisible being,

                Believe in a dream!

That’s the way

                The wealthy elite

                                Like it.

The thing that struck me most about America was its conformity. Even when Americans sort out a seemingly antisocial group they merely conformed to a strict set of rules and thinking.

There is a brainwashing process involved – the saluting, the flag, the oath of allegiance, the belief in God. It’s overwhelming.

The McCarthy campaign was so incredibly effective. Socialism and Communism are dirty words. The capitalists won hands down. They enslaved everyone and dangled the idea of the American Dream. If you worked hard you too could be a billionaire. Bullshit. The reality is that a tiny percentage are creaming off a giant’s share.

The public are threatened, beset with racism, violent control and work for a pittance without benefits.

It’s a model that capitalists are trying to impose on the rest of the world by stealth.

Slavery hasn’t ended, it’s just taken a different form.

They’ll be pie in the sky when you die – now get back to work on your three jobs! You can’t afford to be sick!!

Equality for all!!!

It’s not just Boris Johnson, is it?

The system run by this Tory government is all about funnelling the wealth to the top. While we all suffer austerity the wealthy are getting wealthier by the minute. We are being conned.
