Striking Striking the Only Way

People know the costs sky high.' In France and Britian
By and by.' 35% at least we've swallowed so far; no
Such qualms in the plan-demic, to get cash in the jar.'
Your footsloggers gov. You trundled them out with
Saucepans banging roundabout.' Was that an occult?
Nod? Owning their spirits, touting your clout.? We've
Seen it all the lies heaping up, professionals suffering
Raise a shout! balance and order; are needed no doubt.'
Yet thats not whats wanted, in the robbers lairs.'
Its control and delusions; the daily fare..its corruption
And disgrace..And there in your face..Give it up for the
Medics snd the stand they now make.'

A rousing poem Joe. Yup we are all hurting under the heavy percentage of price rises and taxes. However I wonder if we have a right to complain too loudly when mothers in third world countries have nowhere to bed their children at night and no food to feed them. They would gladly take our computers phones and electric lights and trade them for food for their children. We are still amoung the privileged. Your poem is thought provoking that's for sure. Cheers Wen

Again in light of the below reply Are woes/wars engineered to Divide people? For instance was The French reveloution a marker For those with extreme power And wealth to abhor the idea of People being too independant? Ergo war became a mechanisam To keep them too busy surviving To become awake.?
