Adi Cox Biography

Something has been bugging me. Just lately the government, governments have been talking about austerity, talking about tightening the belt. Obviously that is not good, not happy about it at all. There is always plenty of money for wars. There is always plenty of money for politicians who get a big, big wage. They get alot of money and that is without expenses. With the expenses on top they have a rediculous amount of money. Just their wages alone is about five times more than mine, but with the perks they get on top, it's obscene, it's wrong. 'We are all in it together' rubbish! We are not all in it together. Some of us are in it and some of us are not. Most of us: The general hard working people are going to have some problems if these austerity measures take a hold, because it is the poorest people who get hit the hardest and I am sick of the government, politicians, talking about the unemployed taking tax payers money. It is not a happy life to be unemployed, when politicians take tax payers money and their lives are vastly improved because they get such alot of money. And they keep calling themselves honourable, the right honourable this, the right honourable that. Well just how honourable are politicians? In my book they are parasites. And as for the government what does it do for the people, anymore? Governments look after themselves. They argue amongst themselves, they fight each other (one government against another government) but what about the real people in this world? They get dragged along pushed into battles, power struggles. There is alot of trouble and alot of it is caused by governments, not the people in the street, by governments, And there is alot of organised trouble caused by governments, who like to divide and conquer. I know how this works, they cause the trouble, then they sort it out and then they say you need us to sort this trouble out and the governments start the trouble in the first place. What has happened to civil rights? I have noticed what little rights people have now as to what they used to have. The way people are treated, people are gradually accepting less. Little things turn into big things. let's make an instance. Let's take the hourly rate: So you do your job and you get your hourly rate, but what about unsociable hours? What about working nights, weekends? We used to get more money. We used to get time and a half, we used to get double time. Now we don't get anything more it is flat rate all the way through. That is all we get, but it is acceptable now people accept it. I have this idea that, if you cannot make a full time job pay, then there is something wrong, desperately somewhere. We all need time off, a break from the responsabilities of work. If you put an extra days work in into the week then you have also lost a days free time and you are not going to get it back. If you think about it, that is good grounds for getting double pay, because not only to you gain extra working time, you lose your free time. So if you think about it all overtime should be double time. These employers should pay for that. They go on about competition. Who are we competing against? Governments can print money. Why are they being so mien? Quantative easing It is something you say as a kid: Why don't they print more money? And I know I've been told 'Well there will be inflation, don't be silly, that's daft! ' Well it seems to be a good idea, now. For some reason, suddenly it seems a good idea, quantative easing, print more money. So why is it a good idea now? I don't think these econemists know what's what. I don't think they know what they are doing. Just a load of rubbish. They expect us to believe what they tell us and they don't know. They are guessing. That is all they do just guess and these politicians making out that they know what they are doing, but they don't. They are guessing and they are no better than anybody else. So don't believe the hype. What a load of rubbish this government is. What a load of rubbish the people in charge are, telling us and they don't know what they are doing. What a load of idiots! http: //www.youtube.com/watch? v=DqQAT8-URRc)

The Best Poem Of Adi Cox

Melting Clock

Melting Clock

Morning wakes
to a cold sun.
Birds freeze
and dropp from trees.

Opaqueness thaws
to the clarity
of transparent drops
that drip
tick
tock.
