This United Kingdom Poem by Sheldon Carruthers

This United Kingdom



images of hate upon the screen
obscene wars
new stratagems
NHS failing we cant break even and we are in the red
patients dying through lack of beds
you will have to wait your turn to be seen waiting times are all obscene
doctors overworked and underpaid
nurses even more and pay rises delayed

cost of education spirals out of control and most of the graduates in low paid work or on the dole

global warming storms at sea head for the land eventually
melting ice caps and forest fires is not down to empty churches and their big dusty spires

crumbs for the poor
champaign on ice
super yatchs
and shortages of rice

the world is growing but stays the same size
resources dwindling
and its obvious why
there is not enough money in the world to create justice today for money is the cause of it or so they say
