Basics and Bicycles

My old bike is good for me, It takes me from A to B Times when I need to be alone My bicycle and I on our own Cars are fine for families, Cruising along can be a breeze, Cars are too expensive to run Petrol prices are no fun. Registration, Insurance, maintenance, and more Cars can no longer be purchased by the poor, Public transport fares will rise Poverty for many before our eyes What a miserable sorry state. Welfare is necessary at this rate Of affairs, we are in, Without a mention of War, Flood, Fire and sin. Back to basics and common sense It would help to recompense, For some of those that feel a need To cause corruption because of greed. Greed and power, I can't abide I need my old bike so that I can ride So my trusty cycle and I can roam, To a quiet place to dream alone.
