Shall We Stop Pretending? Poem by Conceptura 777

Shall we stop pretending?
We can all go back to the way things were
Before the men in suits of black
Said our lives and dreams must be deferred
While our wealth and health and hearts were destroyed
And some strange new world order deployed?
-----------
Can we proudly announce to
Wise elders and friends
Who since March and on through summer season
Have shown us the scale of the lies and contempt
The assault on the People amounting to treason
That their job is done
And their places of honour in history won?
-----------
Could we all take the time
To put pen to paper
And drop those nice folks in Whitehall a line
And let them know that we've sussed their caper
And the game is over
That dinner's ready; the table set
And then once their story of lies has been read
They'll be dressing down and then put to bed?
-----------
Will you pick up the phone?
To your useless MP
To tell them their service no longer is needed
Tell the landlord his rental demands won't be heeded
Call the bank and tell them your debts have been waived
Tell the taxman to go get it from those who evade
Tell the pension fund owners they're personally liable
And the bailiff his job is no longer viable
-----------
And then pop on down to your local Nick
And kindly inform them that Cressida Dick
Is no longer their boss
And that going forward they're working for you
And thank them for putting up with the Dross
And ask them politely their oath to renew
To serve the many, and not the few
-----------
And why worry when summer's crops are all in?
When the silos are full and there's land aplenty
And the brains and brawn of our countrymen
Can join forces and nurture nature's bounty
In every country, in every county
And together toil, together reap
A nourishing harvest
That all can eat
Why worry? The nation's power stations
Work not with coin slots or monthly payments
Our rain will still fall in the highlands and lowlands
Our walls and our roofs still shelter our loved ones
Our food needs no credit cards to grow
And our beer, no tax to ferment and flow
Yes it's time for change, it's time to dare
To shape our nation to our needs
Our nation is the plans we make
Our nation every step we take
Our nation is our fellow men
Not some obscure Jerusalem
-----------
So let's build a new nation one day at a time
Whose pillars are our integrity
And selflessness the new currency
And social care is the care we give
And health the number of healthy who live
And growth the contribution we bear
And peace the number of rifts we repair
Shall we stop pretending there's someone out there?
Who'll fix the world's woes and make the world fair?
Get up! Go out and make a stand
This future is yours
The World in your hands!
