One generation sacrificed, or more,
Now is high time to toll the tocsin knell
Enjoining all to come to terms with hell,
Great expectations dashed. Solutions for
Economic prosperity too poor.
Never since stark dark days of First World War,
Education undermined, pensions spell
Retirement age to eighty upped as well
As immense inequality in store.
The chickens home to roost, past errors pour
Ice melt-down on stability, shock core
Of freedoms lost, pollution won. Farewell!
No eulogy for politicians' works:
Sacrificed, next generation's perks!
