'' Yes This Is The Here And Now ''

Rating: 5.0


In ye good old days of Robin Hood,
With the downtrodden this legend stood,
The spirit of camaraderie he did exude,
He loved his task and how.

He robbed the rich and gave to the poor,
A better future he would procure
If you were in trouble he would find a cure,
Injustice he wouldn’t allow.

Rich lords and ladies milking us dry,
Tears of joy is what they did cry,
Poverty to them just didn’t apply,
Contempt for us they did endow.

12th century myths are what some would say,
Why would the rich cause the poor affray,
But look around you it’s happening today,
Yes this behaviour we still allow.

Bowing to royalty as if they were Gods,
With the principles of decency they are at odds,
If truth be told they are parasitic frauds,
We the taxpayers are their cash cow.

Another Royal has arrived on our planet,
Their procreation we need to ban it,
Their principles should be encased in granite,
We need to make that our vow.

Millionaires everywhere robbing us blind,
Politicians starving us, is just so unkind,
We give them the impression that we don’t mind,
As they stand there, taking a bow.

Most of us wouldn’t steal someone’s last penny,
You’d do the opposite if you had any,
But the parasites vices are evil and many,
Botox hides the frowns on their brow.

We the workers should hang our heads in shame,
By allowing it to happen we are to blame,
While they leave us their plebs without a name,
It’s the depths of Hell the rich plough.

No wonder they think workers are all deranged,
Around the elite the worlds riches are arranged,
Robin Hood is dead but nothing has changed,

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
I wrote this as a protest at the way the elite who are the cause of all world recessions never seem to suffer while the working classes who end up paying for it are always at the sharp end when it comes to financing their mistakes.
