This poem (sort of) was inspired by a news story about increasing personal debt in the developed nations

Sing a song of servitude, obligations must be met,

we sacrifice our freedom for a pocket full of debt

gadgets, status symbols ovrwhelm our commmon sense,

we buy the great delusion, there is no recompense.

 

When happiness does not spring from all the things we buy,

then every move we try to make only serves to amplify

the negative situation and the danger it contains,

we mortgage our future and can never lose our chains.

 

What is it governments and scientists are not telling us about COVID-19

Elite losing the war on cash?

UN Migration Pact resistance

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

 

 

 

 

 
Labour manifesto for growth will only grow debt and bureaucracy
