Poem
(Part 5 of 5) And no more your kids will get a chance above mine Because at my work I’ve never even met the bosses You see we were able to hold our own before And keep the wolves from the door I could even see a future....for us all But this we are now struggling to do since your Husband and his friends have shut the door This is not just yours and their country you know Your playground, your way, you always first The protection of power, privilege and money Which you think you can have until the end of your days No way Why are your children worth more opportunities than mine? Just because your husband happens to be called something like ‘Kensington-Smythe’ And why are they encouraged to get used to this from an early age? What happened to every child born the same? So what can I ask you wife to wife? To help us all provide for our families a decent life? No more fiddling, expenses, and for everyone to pay their fair share You or yours want a duck house, pet food or porn (I don’t judge you) - just pay for it yourselves No letting the rich off towing the line Make them behave with the values I try to instil in mine All we need is democracy back Although there’s no denying that it will probably get your husband the sack Because if they let us have democracy – one person one vote No lobbing, ‘donations’ or spin doctors - what a joke Just a ballot box and a voter With a pen in hand Making a fair decision as to what they think is best for this land Without being pulled this way and that by promises that will never be Supported by marketing, trickery and celebrity But I don’t think this will be so Because if they every gave us that This would be when changes would start to happen And I know that now YOU would be in fear Because if we got democracy back in 2015 You wouldn’t be living like this time next year Anna Archichek
