Political Monotony.

Modern day conundrum

Who do I believe in the main parties all sound humdrum

Plenty of rhetoric but lacking in substance

What is the oppositions fighting stance?

The financial institutions are free to do as they please

Phrases I have heard lately austerity cuts and pay freeze

The message I am getting is we have had it too good

So we will have to pay more for fuel, housing and food

And though the cost of living keeps on rising

More cuts loom on the horizon

They are going for the NHS the Youth Service and Civil Servants

I fear they would like to turn us all into archetypal peasants

The unemployment figure keeps on growing

Fuel poverty means that some folks need to fear when it starts snowing

The DWP is running show trials to cut the number claiming sickness benefit

They are less interested in fairness than the targets they must hit

Housing allowance has been significantly lowered

Dismantling of the safety net Tory and recession powered

JSA applicants undertaking the work programme will provide their labour for free

Earning less than the minimum wage for their efforts that seems immoral to me

Homelessness services and charities forced to fight for funding

Will cut costs to win their tendering

The homeless numbers are rising the youth are becoming disenfranchised

Self interest and the profit motive seem to have backfired
