For Leeds City Council 3 Poem by Dave Alan Walker

Feelings of shame
against the chains
wrapped around me

The powers that be
are holding me down
they are ripping my soul
away from my body and my mind

They play mind games
like war games
like a game of chess
in your head

All they ever want
is their pound of flesh
they don't care about
the poor and the dying

Let all other countries see
that we are not what we seem
we are only the land of opportunity
If you are rich
