Reformation

When this Corvid crisis is over There has to be Social Reform: We just can’t expect things to Return to their pre crisis norm. All those essential workers Daily risking their lives, The security of their families, Their children and wives, To try and keep things going, Keep society on track Until the lockdown has ended And we get normality back. Many of those are working On Minimum rates of pay Which has got to change Come crisis over day. There’s talk of a medal to Recognise all they’ve done, Recognise their hard work When this fight is finally won. But, you can’t feed on medals or commendations from the Queen. Let’s have something lasting With results that can be seen. Close up the tax loopholes Take away the benefits of evasion From those companies that operate From their offshore tax haven Reform this unequal society of Selfishness, grasping and greed From each according their ability To each according to their need. When we’ve managed to enable This necessary social reformation Only then will we be a real, not Just Lip serving, Christian Nation.

Thanks Wen. Sadly its not going to happen - we are so conditioned to Tip The Forelock,and look upto our "betters" Brits feel safe when they are being ripped off - its what they've come to expect and they are suspicious of anybody or entity promising different. So sad.
