Joe Maverick Poet Rhyme

U K election 2024

Can we work to be busy? May we do it till dizzy'
Up until 70.' Against a scene of inflation and wage freeze'
To be punished by care home costs.! 
Homes sold, still can't defray' all lost?)
Work till the spirits crushed.' Struggle in a system bust
Nuclear family, of modernity, sell your soul to a mortgage
Fee.' Buy a car' it will soon be old..Wasted assets are
The motherlode..Of those who devise the forever wars.'
Yet its your fault people..Thats how its been told.'
Why arn't you happy? And cheering on bold?
Why aren't people in the masses voting on?
The charade-parade. And woke marathon!

Christina Bowring March 19, 2024 at 11:59 AM Dear Joe, I appreciate reading this very much. Totally agree with you. I think retirement age with end up being 73 at the rate things are going. Ridiculous! I work in a hospital and we’ve said one day you won’t know the patients from the staff! I think our government - all parties- are as bad as each other. ‘ work till the spirits crushed ‘ how true! Being a fellow Brit, a very relatable read. Thank you for sharing from one frustrated, dismayed poet to another :) Joe Maverick March 19, 2024 at 5:17 PM Thanks for the feedback Christina..I am an Australian National..Yet obviously I have Great ties to Britan after 40 Years (what can we expect?) Thank you so much for commenting.!! May your time And inspiration Be blessed
