Rise The People (Bedroom Tax) Poem by Dave Alan Walker
Rise The People (Bedroom Tax)
Detonation of a time bomb
just waiting
distribution of retribution
of a lawful kind
The people will rise
people together, everybody will be in court soon.
If everyone joins together in court it will be
a giant step to get the stupid bedroom tax where
it belongs, in the bin.
This reminds me of the peasents revolt in1383 which was crushed by King Richard III, and later, the peasents revolt of 1983 under Queen Maggie Thatcher put down by police trunchions. The peasents are always revolting!
Aha timebombs r scary and dis poem speaks of a simmering trouble waitin to boil over! Kudos poet dave.
Being from the US, I'm not sure of the legislative details, but I think it's a powerful statement of social justice. A hard thing to do in just five lines. Excellent poem.
a host of people should come forward/ social justice to be implemented.... good write! ! ! !

It's the poll tax in disguise. People power will get rid of it!
