Real People's Lives

Remember to look him in the face when you stab him in the back. Remember to look deep in his eyes as his whole livelihood departs. You know you’ve got to look her in the eyes, the mother of the sick child. You’ve broken her with all your lies, with all those helping hands you’ve chopped off at the arm. Remember how hard this lady worked for all those years. Doing work you see as beneath you and your counterparts because it’s honest, low paid and demands blood, sweat and tears. You know you’ve got to look her in the eyes now you’ve broken what dreams she had. You take her pension at the click of your fingers and make her work more when she has worked so many years, so damn hard. Remember these are REAL PEOPLE who have to live their REAL lives. Remember you make their lives so much harder with all your lies. You’ve got to listen to the moon in the dark of the night, you’ve got to close your eyes and hear the cries of your austerity scream as you break REAL peoples lives.
