Poem Artwork

Health fails the family wails
Made to live on beds of nails
Dignity is stolen
Greedy pockets swollen

The walking lame are cured again
By a governments that is feign
Giving hand-outs to the wealthy
Prosperity stolen from the unhealthy

Number 10 is happy again
The party that steals Motability
Taking all the fare-wealth
Thieving civility with hostility

Capitalism is a poisonous pill
Come and see how the treasury kills
Those with poor health appease
The gods of monetary wealth

Old age does not have it's merits. Sadly there are some who do not care or realize what it's like to become older. THEY came first in their own lives in many ways!.... M

Yes Andy yes! Euthanasia is alive in every socialist society, now America too. Voting seems like an easy thing to do. Too many do not! Why? I like your poem Andy. May peace and love be always with you. Jon Michael

You are absolutely right. It is insane for politicians to claim that they are cutting government while they are lining the pockets of their rich benefactors. What you are writing about is income inequality that has been continually growing since the 1980s, putting more and more people into lower and lower income brackets, resulting in a slowdown of the economy and suffering for those that are not in the top 20%.

It's really sad that so many so-called, "leaders," think that they can continue on this course and make things better. They can't. But we can. All we have to do is support and vote for the right people.

Apt and timely as usual, Andy. I am not particularly optimistic these days. Why can we not have peace and concentrate on taking care of this planet? Love and peace to you,
