Broken Britain

Losing control, my temper is boiling

These seas of thought overwhelming,

Failed by politicians, tormented by their policies

Cancer treatment in crisis, NHS on its knees,

Cost of living keeps on rising, 8% inflation

People hungry pushed to the edge of desperation

The system has for far too long been corrupted

By forces out of control that are morally bankrupted,

Goodwill being eradicated, comfort zones aggravated

Hope left sedated, leaving so many frustrated, 

The milk of human kindness slowly sucked dry

Tears falling faster, the land left in disarray,

Above us the grey skies keep on dawning

Rivulets of despair, inequality spawning,

Corruption rife, economy in ruins

A cabal of filth, looting billions,

Vile Prime Minister pulling faces and gurning

While others left empty with hearts burning, 

We must untangle ourselves from the nets cast

Swim away from currents of confusion fast,

Find waves of tranquility and peace to restore

So that this broken, rotten system is no more,

Try to overcome the flowing, churning sadness

Prevent further drift into the turmoil of abyss,

Rise in a new society formed beyond the wreckage

With kisses that heal and forever salvage.
