Tory Benefit Scandal 2021

I am seeing health specialists over a serious concern, 
for a year I've had a sick note which says I can't work, 
always paying less benefit than they say I should earn, 
and it's now mandatory for me too do a job search 
and they'll sanction my benefit, if I don't search I won't earn, 
but I'm ill seeing specialists who see a reason to observe 
for an entire year Vasculitis has been their word
my blood says I have it but the source is a search 
until found they can't treat me and that's why I can't work  
paying me less than they state I deserve 
and then docking it all because I don't look for work
even though I've a sick note and specialist concern 
because Eton doesn't teach what real people learn 

Labour just take shots at Tory failure, 
they could make a plan that shows me my savour, 
and the Lib Dems are who what when where when what who no wa 
COME UP WITH A PLAN THAT GOES FORWARD AND BE A PLAYER, 
Cameron cut benefits like Boris but before 
so you should have a plan as it happens once more 

The TORIES want me dead, they don't want me poor, 
cutting corners without a clue, as they did once before
