Atos - not a toss!

 

An evil man is I.D.S.
causing great pain and distress,
disabled people drop like flies,
it is time we heard their cries.
 
Fraudulent claims say government
are just nought-point-five percent,
so why treat all as if they’re bent,
guilty till proven innocent?
 
Six billion pounds paid to Atos,
that is quite some scandalous loss,
private company does the deed
with no care for how they bleed.
 
Fit for work unless comatose,
that’s pretty much how it goes,
just twelve percent unfit allowed,
does this agenda make you proud?
 
Though advised they can take to court,
many frightened and distraught,
suicides from mentally ill,
corporate manslaughter, healthcare nil.
 
While waiting justice, many die;
courts cost taxpayers pretty high.
While we have millions unemployed,
why is compassion null and void?

In times our forebears lived, not we,
Protection came from family,
There was no safety net to hand
Or other help in that other land.
Posterity will judge the deed...
Of "evil" men, there is no need.
The road to hell is trod unmentioned,
A highway for the well-intentioned.
