Oven-Ready, World-Beating Lies
All false.
Just a front.
Actions of a lazy grunt.
Every word
That goes by;
Every deed – a lie.
They never intend
To sort things out
They don’t care.
Smugly grasping,
Arrogantly pocketing,
Spouting that they’ll make things fair.
Empty words,
In soundbites,
Designed to deceive.
Delivered
With feigned concern
To make us believe.
Part of
A system that exploits
The poor.
They design it
So that we
Get no more.
The rich
Get richer
While the poor starve.
If they had
Their way
They’d cut that in half.
All the promises,
Glibly delivered,
Are nowt but lies
They talk
About levelling up
While robbing us blind.
Unpick
Their lies
And what do you find?
Lies! Lies! Lies!

During these past twelve years of austerity the wealthy have increased their wealth enormously. Huge multi-million contracts have been handed out willy-nilly. Massive salaries have been given freely to ‘the right people’. Huge multimillion bonuses have been given to those at the top. Many Tory MPs are pocketing huge sums for lobbying, second jobs, telling secrets, or dividends. Huge sums are being deposited tax-free abroad.
Those at the bottom are systematically blamed. We have to have pay freezes in order to save the economy.
We are promised sunny uplands, Brexit dividends, levelling up.
We receive tax hikes, massive inflation, a cost of living crisis, energy bills through the roof, petrol prices rocketing and wage cuts.
Power companies and oil companies are creaming off incredible profits.
Aren’t you as fed up with these lies as I am??
Oven-ready, world-beating lies!!
