Poverty Poem by Gary Ware

It's time to stand up and fight you see
There's millions struggling with poverty
The cost of living, spiralling out of control
More and more people are on the dole
Living in homes we can't afford to heat
The cost of food! Coz we all have to eat
Finding it harder and harder to pay our rents
If it carries on much longer, we will all be in tents
Being forced off our roads by extortionate costs
The people in power, they just don't give a toss
Living their luxurious lives with such impunity
Stripping this land of hope and community
Enslaving this nation through fear and tyranny
Their only concern is their own prosperity
For this is their plan, unless we take a stand
And reclaim and fight for our beautiful land
