This poem was written for the contest 'May Showers' and is about politics and the cancer of capitalism. Theresa May is of course the Prime minister of prime decline in the UK, but Donald Trump would surely enjoy this poem as well.
May Showers
When it rains it may pour on the soaking wet poor
drenched to the crossbones feeding on crumbs
too disempowered at food banks to scramble
A hurricane brewing sweeping the floor underneath
slipping away into the floods glass ceilings in sight
that cannot be reached while scraps trickle down
The rich become richer while health care gets lost
advantageous no doubt for social benefits cuts
we got money for Trident but can’t eat the bills
Europe for Britain soon a distant memory and that
powerful vision of Peace and compassion in tatters
Theresa not mother but May showers despair and
Injustice Arrogance neo-liberal Prisons and Shackles
Will someone please find me a raincoat and a rubber
dingy and pray I don’t drown on insanity’s crossings
