We're Most Definitely Not All In This Together! Poem by Professor Dr. Stanley Collymore

By Stanley Collymore

Far from being the great leveller Covid 19
will only increase existing inequalities,
since those who suffered most in
the last crash: the young, the
low-paid and those forced to
live precarious lifestyles,
will suffer most again.

And while there are several of us
who can work from home and,
accordingly, self-isolate it's
the most essential individuals
who're stuck in the Covid 19
frontline as hospital porters,
care workers or delivery
drivers, who are more
exposed to the virus,
and, therefore, far
more vulnerable to
redundancy and
not furloughed.

Additionally they rent, while the
wealthier classes own their
homes, and accordingly
are forced to spend more
of their income on key
necessities; leaving
them, as a result,
more obviously
susceptible to
revenue falls
and starkly
attendant
poverty.

Furthermore, the children of the
ultra-wealthy as well as those
of the Middle Classes can
readily play in their own
gardens, which is a
luxury not at hand to those
living in high rise flats; a
situation which in these
disadvantaged cases
can for them easily
bring about totally
worsening, often
critically serious
and injuriously
life situations;
that can ultimately
lead to crucially
exacerbating
mental and
additional
physical
issues.

And for those who're lumbered
with and, inescapably, stuck
in families where for them
education isn't actually seen
as a priority, this distinctly
blinkered and obviously
unwise approach only
serves to widen the
gap and worsen
the basic state
of inequality
within the
country.

So next time some narcissistic,
patently moronic, delusional
and quite arrogantly self-
serving politician, their
similarly, likeminded
within the UK and firmly
embedded in a Middle Ages'
privileged mind-set which is
transparently irrelevant in
the 21st Century- if this
quite definitely useless
sort ever was of any
value in preceding
ones - hereditary,
utterly pointless and
effusively inclined
to imbecilic and
selfishly think
and believe,
all of them,

that what they've collectively, most
unconscionably and barbarously
purloined over the centuries,
and are still quite good at doing,
is irrefutably theirs as of right
by divine intervention and
also an unchallengeable
entitlement - asininely
declare that we're all
in this together; just
remember that although
for some Covid 19, in
actuality, is basically
nothing more than
an inconvenience,
for many others
it's significantly
a catastrophe!

Author's Remarks:
Sure tens of thousands of you will, in all probability, die; but from my personal perspective, and in relation to my country Britain, it's a sacrifice which most unapologetically I'm quite willing to see you all make; since it's what the vast majority of you in the most bizarre and delusional terms rather asininely, fawningly, racist, xenophobic as well as incredibly dimwittedly voted for in the UK in December 2019.

So if you've since come to your senses and don't want to be perennial victims: those of you who fortuitously manage to survive Covid 19 - how about you sensibly and thoughtfully on your own account, and hopefully quite intelligently as well, trying the genuine alternative next time, of endeavouring to be truly free?

And not have the absolutely vile, vitriolic and lying right-wing, MSM rags that you avidly read and believe and which rather cynically and self-servingly routinely play you like their very own obedient and controlled Pavlov's dogs as they invariably do because they unquestionably know that they can, while at the same time having you always think and act as they want you to and sinisterly insist that you do.
