Notes About The Poem

THIS IS WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE UNITED KINGDOM AT THIS MOMENT 

AND THE GOVERNMENT  SEEMS TO BE MAKING IT WORSE CUTS CUTS AND MORE CUTS. BUT THAY ARE HAVING A PAY RISE AGAIN .

This is reality

Food prices rising having to shop around no such thing as a cheap shop
no bargains to be found.

Utility bills going up do we heat or eat extra blankets on the bed
thick socks on our feet.

Ordinary people suffering the country is on its knees
the government not listening just doing as it please.

The politicians just keep smiling and say it will be alright
But it is not them freezing when the frost comes at night.

Families having to penny pinch just to make ends meet
parents going without food so the kids can eat.

SO I ask the government think about what  your going to do
OR IS IT YOU DONT REALLY CARE BECAUSE IT DOESNT EFFECT YOU.

Wow. Is this really happening in the U.K.? In the U.S., we're upset because we don't have eggs, or when they do arrive, they are overpriced. Poem is a warning. Tough times ahead.
