Dave Cox Poet Rhyme

Nothing To Lose

Nothing to Lose?

I’ve got no money in the bank
Can’t afford to fill my tank
I haven’t got any property
I live in a town called poverty
I don’t want to die of cold
I’m not anxious to grow old
So nuclear war sounds good
Cause there’s no Robin Hood
For once only the rich will lose
So there’s no real bad news
Do whatever you like
Before the next price hike
My larder’s running low
A nuke has a nice warm glow
I haven’t got a yacht
So I really don’t give a jot
There’s nothing you can destroy
Life for millions holds no joy
As we all teeter on the edge
Can’t afford two meat and veg
Do you understand my view?
I’ll die poor whatever you do.
