Robin Hood and H G

Robin Hood was captured Thrown in the castle cells Here he met an inmate By the name of H.G.Wells. Herbert George is fascinated By the story our Robin has to tell but he knows Robin will be executed When the church sounds the morning bell. So that night together As the guards around them dream Herbert George and Robin Escape in H.G's time machine. They set a course for the future March 27th 2014' Robin so excited To be seeing things he's never seen . All his hopes are soaring Thinking about the things he hopes to see Fair wages and taxation and an end to poverty. But what he finds tears him apart In this age of depravity The super rich are just as greedy and the peasants as poor as they ever used to be. All Robin see's are broken promises Nothing much has changed Conservative, Republican , Communist or Democrat Favours for the super rich are still arranged. Politicians feathering their own nest Against the poorest all weapons are ranged Yet we have no modern day Robin Hood Even H.G. thought that strange. Back to the time machine Robin has never felt so low All the things he fought against With just a few arrows and a bow Are just as prevalent in the future and after thanking H.G. for the show A broken hearted Robin Hood Climbed the steps to the sheriffs gallows. As he stood astride the trap door Returned H.G's time machine Herbert whisks Robin off to Eden A garden beautiful and green Here he learns the lord never intended For man to be so mean He now knows the poor will inherit gods mansions The super rich for eternity will scream . Not for a contest.
