Poem
One can't help but a feeling With all our country men a leaving... ...and more migrants lining up at customs door... Latest figures polled this year 57,000 plus have left... ...in pursuit of work as there is no more... and the piper seems little to"no care" One can't but help but a feeling... ...with our melting pot a changing... ...looming question as to who we are working for... ...Capitalism on the brink? Our taxes for unpaid benefits? ...and more rising unemployment is in store... as our working class is dwindling... ...Is this piper swindling? One can't but ask the question... Once known the land of milk and honey... SOE flushed... no longer funny... Suggest to tax the paper boy... surplus review without joy... SOE to pay off deficit... or the accruing unpaid benefits... ...and the migrants keep on filling an empty space... I'm not racist lets be clear... but common sense has reared it's head. One can't but ask the question... Robbing Peter, to pay Paul... Where else I ask you in the world... can one arrive into a country... claim refugee status and get paid... ...Lets divert all this attention... Blame the solo mothers on a benefit... not a mention about the fathers who help create... One can't help but ask the question... To the piper I will mention... This recession has created great divide... but the lesson to be learnt lets not skirt round with words... You are playing with peoples families and their lives... For the people that were born here... ...are more confused and disgruntled... For the Piper has gone global world wide... We want peace and harmony... the right to drive our country's' economy... ...out of debt, and pay our tax to those in need... Not a hand out to the lazy... who are wading in the gravy... This is what our country stands for and much more... One can't help but ask the question... Have we forgotten what's important... and who we're really working for... For our country men are leaving... Left us penniless and a grieving... For this question begs an answer... in the shallows of joy and laughter... is our deficit knocking on our front door?
