Priorities

Am i the only one in the land
That thinks the government is out of hand,
It's cut the services to make do
Does not hurt them, just me and you.
Teachers, nhs, ships and soldiers,
Unemployed and the older.
When will all the spending end,
When there are no soldiers left to send
To all the war zones our boys go,
Leaving families full of woe.
We have no money you know that,
But it's ok if your a fat cat,
Making money for the banks
Then get millions as a thanks.
Where did all the money go
From pensions, road tax, I don't know.
But still there's plenty money in the kitty
To spend on things in the big city.
Like olympics, art and theatre too,
It makes no difference to me and you.
The government should get their priorities right
Because the poor cannot fight
Against the bureaucrats who say
Give us more money and have a nice day.

Political Prostitution

Thought I'd take some time to really read the proposed constitution. I have never read any before so you could imagine the confusion.

USA

America. We're #1. Or so we say. But we're undone. The United States. Is drowning in debt. Our glory days. We seem to forget. Once so strong. We've fallen apart. It's too late now. We can't restart.

Careless Words= Crushed Futures

Sweat and hard work, Was thrown in to the dirt, Individuals futures are Crushed. Under your careless command. Pretending you know what you say, When it's obvious you don't.

Certified stranger, Concusions drawn and done. Street side messenger, couldn't care for one. Judgement based on looks, societys true tale. Smirking as they win, laughing as we fail.
