Poetry – Bribes and Lies

Bribes and Lies

Bribes and lies,

Hype and bravado,

More Bosch

Than they’ve got in the Prado.

Divided in hate,

Stoking the fire,

Populist tyrant

Thrown in the mire.

Democracy ditched

In a torrid coup

As Cummings’ thugs

Dissolve the glue.

General election

Or Brexit extension

As austerity crisis

Gets hardly a mention.

They think we’ll forget

The savage Tory cuts

As they sink the economy

And the country shuts.

Opher 4.9.2019

How do the Tories manage to persuade a substantial segment of the population to vote for them when they manifestly do not represent the interests of those people? Do they think everyone forgets the years when they have hammered both the poor and public services while giving tax cuts to the wealthy?

Poetry – Nothing but lies

Nothing but lies

No mandate!

No majority!

No manners!

Just brutality.

No sense!

No sensitivity!

No empathy;

Just ME ME ME!

Plenty Bullying

But no trust.

No caring!

Country bust!

No listening!

No compromise!

Plenty deceit and

LIES LIES LIES!!

No party!

No country!

Nothing matters –

Just ME ME ME!!

Tough line!

No choice!

Doesn’t care about

Our voice!

False promises!

Fake news!

Lying bastard!

EU Blues!

No mandate!

No majority!

No manners!

Just brutality.

Opher – 4.9.2019

Many politicians go into the business merely to gain power. They put their ambition before the good of the country.

I believe Boris Johnson, Donald Trump and Jair Bolsonaro are three such people!

Tax Evasion and unskilled Jobs. Elitism and Inequality.

The rich don’t pay taxes on their millions but the poor get hammered. Brexit Britain. Capitalist heaven.

The Brexit Dividend!

People are beginning to wake up to the devastating cost of Brexit. Tariffs, red-tape, delays, rising costs, empty supermarket shelves, massive trade deficit, firms going under, rising costs, higher taxes………… all covered up by the Tory Brexiteers!! They hide it behind covid and huge borrowing!! It is bankrupting the country!!

The army is being brought in to drive goods, to work in A&E – they’ll be picking fruit and veg soon!!
