A Message To British Politicians

Have you listen, Have you heard Have you seen, have you lived Do you truly know You walk the streets You say, you understand, you will change Do you truly hear Do you care We are people, we are a nation We are broken and divided by your lies You are our leaders You were meant to guide us To lead us out of the land of suffering and poverty Yet you unclothe us and strip us of our garments You take away our rights and our freedom to be free. You manipulate us, trick us and teach us to deceive We have become a divided nation an enemy to our brother a traitor to our sister A coward to our neighbor And a stranger to our children we are a lost generation. Great leaders who are you We are the same We are humans Separated only by circumstances You truly want to know us Wear our shoes walk our pathway Live our lives Let circumstances and experience be your tutor and guide Maybe then you will grow to understand the cry of your people.

Patricia, it sounds you are having the same problems in Great Britain that we are having here. Nobody listens and voters suffer from political betrayal. I'm sorry to hear this is the case abroad as well as at home. Best wishes, Carolyn
