An Open Letter To a Tory Wife

You see we were able to hold our own before And keep the wolves from our own front door But this we are now struggling to do since your Husband and his party changed the rules This is not just your country you know Your playground, your way, you always first The protection of power, money and privilege 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-Smyth’ And why are they encouraged to get used to this from an early age? Mine are raised that we are all the same That we all have to contribute in our own way I believe mine are just as capable as yours, every day In fact more so, because when I have finished they will understand Why they have to work and earn their pay, in a fair way AND help their fellow man whether they may be Black, blue, pink, white or green, formerly grand, from any land Irrespective of background, something which yours will never understand Unless you show them another way But you don’t want your lives to resemble the working poor Because that’s just not the Tory way Some day......some day...... And you may just think this is all just a spout That it will never work out Yes it will if we restore democracy And sort the tax system out Anna Archichek
