A Government Graveyard Poem by Dave Alan Walker

People are truly suffering from this dreadful tax. Not only rent arrears but council tax arrears too, a double whammy

perhaps this poem speaks many truths. good read

Many governments are useless regarding the working man...I believe Sweden look after their retired better than any place on the planet...In the UK anyone with pots of cash can still get the pension...Still the country is lovely but OZ has better sunshine cheers Dave

Even the current government is an elected one. Is there any way the government may be made to listen to the citizens? A new government may have new problems which we do not know. I am only suggesting as another thought. The poem definitely brings the problem to attention. Thank you.

through out the world same thing why/ yhis is the Question where we we are not mindless still we are cheated thank Alan

Yah i am inclined to agree with you, its very true and your poem is short yet it has pages of meaning

@Joe Breunig: rather naive, sir. The rich grow fat on government contracts. The condition of the poor depends on the attitude government takes. They trot out lots of lies To praise free enterprise. But all they really do Is steal from me and you. They give the state the blame, A rich rogue's lying game. No end to their demands When power's in their hands. The taxman grabs our dosh And gives it to the posh, Through contracts that are bent. We wonder where it went.

Friend! you are right. a very realistic poem. It's the life that poverty gave to us the life the government won't help us to get out of

A hardhitting poetic political riot against d govt. Yor poem is great indeed n true. Pls do chk out my latest poem.

Out of the frying pan into the fire springs to mind. We in the UK do not seem to have politicians who are capable of running our country for anything other than their own aims and ambitions.
