For Leeds City Council 6 (They Smile As They Kill) Poem by Dave Alan Walker
For Leeds City Council 6 (They Smile As They Kill)
Hiding the Devil
behind your smiles
as you tear their hearts
from their souls
you'll take their homes
and smile as you kill
They say that
money is not everything but you
take so much off people with nothing
it's a matter of life and death to them
People screaming for mercy
in the middle of the night
but screaming inside their own heads
so nobody else can hear them
They are at the end
there is no rope left
but you still don't listen
to the cries of the people
The cries that I hear
the cries that should not be there
the cries that you put on me
from when I was just a kid
My mother needed help not eviction
you hounded and you hounded
and you still didn't win
feel her pain, feel your shame
She's with the angels now
away from hypocrites and greed
but she won't be turning in her grave
she knew people like you would never change
bedroom tax this time. They will find something else soon, and see how many more people they can destroy. It's not just Leeds city council it's just
that I come from Leeds and I see what they are doing to the people. This poem is a tribute to my late mother and her struggle. Your struggle will not be in vain.
Yes, very true...She knew people like you will never change..No one understand the cries of others. No mercy is shown.. Beautiful poem..Loved reading it.......plus 10

A wonderful poem; It is a fact that people are way to insensitive to understand other person's plight. I am sure this poem will bring a difference in the society and her struggle will definitely not be in vain.
