You and Me

The path is now clear to see. The path set out for you and me.

Our elderly no longer seems to matter!

So many jobs and livelihoods in tatters.

Wealth, greed and power for the selected few.

It does not seem to matter what we are or what we can do.

Our lives don’t seem to be there, in this elitist future where money is the only care.

They’ve proven to us how much we mean in a society where they want hate and division to breed.

How long before they close the door and a civil society in the UK exists no more?

Now they have broken your children's dreams do you still think that they care about you and me?
