Anarchy In the Uk

This once nation of peace and calm, lies in chaos and anarchy It's Government in broken promises, imploding indefinitely Students are the first to react, their future in tattered torn Through barricades they implore, their resilience will never be worn To go back on why you've been voted in, is sacrilege to them Being blatant has been their response, from alleged honourable men Days of protests abound, whilst the multitudes in gather grow Anarchy is their cry, it's for you, whom we'll overthrow A week has duly passed, as the masses rise in cities rife They target Government offices, now lying empty in soulless strife Stubbornness kicks in, by these trusted voted in In blind they see no reason, to allow their lies to thin We are now into the second week, enforcement officers cannot contain Around their table the dishonourable crew, call in our fighting men Through the barricades, dialogues from our forces gain Brothers shout to brothers, through the same windows, mirrored are pains For they have similar irks, to be combatant without their needs Being posted to lands we don't belong, filling their Governments greed's Barriers now in fall, amidst the students their brothers unite No weapons are called upon, a non triggered anarchy strikes Many cities are now affected, in education down The anarchy cry kicks in, whilst the Government in place sits drowned On the steps of No 10, it's aged door now lies ajar I no longer speak for the people he says, our lies have gone too far Voted in, now voted out, candidates step forward, in truthful elected cry For whom now elected, be prepared for the reign, or future political die http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/political.php

Hello James, I have been trying to follow this State side. Seems we tend to return to the scene of the crime once again. Voices will be heard, and changes will be made. It is our destiny Wonderful thoughts written here. As Always, Shar

Very passionate James. For years I have had to vote for the least objectionable, not the best. Sad and seems no relief in sight.

This is an impressive poem, but I suppose I see things less dramatically. Coalition is about compromise, and politics about betrayal. It's in the nature of the beast. Also, the new fee system being introduced arguably has some good points - not least the raising of the payback threshold from 15.000 to 21.000, and I am not convinced the increase will deter poorer families. Still, I didn't like the increase either - seems to me against the spirit of our education system as I knew it.

I heard something about an attack on Prince Charles' car but didn't know the details. Apparently you are experiencing civil unrest in the UK too, though the Tea Party movement here was not violent they did succeed in getting a lot of incumbents voted out. When politicians fail to serve the public, they get the boot. Fair is fair. Great poem, James! Love, Carolyn
