Change is Coming (But Keir it is for the worse)

Change is Coming. (But Keir It Is For The Worse)

 

I gave you a promise, but it didn't mean a thing, you had to have something to believe in.

I offered change for the better for our great nation, yet all I do now about the past I keep complaining.

I feel it's better for someone earning £30.000 to get an above inflation pay rise, then for the elderly of our country to keep warm on a winter’s night.

I will raise taxes on businesses and the wealthy, so I don't have to look at them anymore, because they are all selling up and taking their money to a foreign shore.

If you are struggling or unemployed don't worry when we cut your benefit, if you have made a large donation to my party, we can you find a job in the civil service.

We will do our best to keep all our national services at breaking point, by welcoming in from around the world any immigrant.

We will work closely with the unions to ensure they get all their power back, while non-union members can form an orderly queue to enter the poverty trap.

For those earning £100.000 plus we will build affordable housing across the land, those who are renting rest assured your rents will continue to expand.

You can trust me to avoid finding any helpful solutions, I am your duly elected Prime Minister, I am a politician

His look defiant, his words are terse
Things are gonna get worse
He’s got bad news for the public purse
Things are gonna get worse
There’s cuts that he will not reverse
A line which he will not traverse
He’s economically risk averse
Things are gonna get worse

For hopes and dreams, he’s called a hearse
Things are gonna get worse
Bad news doctor, bad news nurse
Things are gonna get worse
There’s multinationals to reimburse
Shareholder dividends to disburse
A billionaire’s laughter is a curse
Things are gonna get worse

It's a rant, sort of. There's a lot of it about.

I, with my master’s degree in Twenty-First Century Phonemic Concatenation, declare it to be poetry!
