Beyond Imperious Forces

The virus of austerity is sweeping through the land 

Infected by fear, racism, and hate, seeking to expand

Guided by autocracy, hypocricisy and kleptocracy

Exploitative system, leaders with no morality,

Capitalist manifestations weighing us down

A dreary flood of gestures making  us drown,

" That which we are, we are" billionaire chancellor said

Him and his chums supping fine wine, choices of bread, 

With arrogant pomposity, offering no light

We have to get off our knees now and fight,

Against a system that daily delivers anxiety

A carnivourous beast, with force of impeity,

That tightens it's claws, consuming  hearts

Suffocating hope, leaving disdainful marks,

These malignant forces want us to be compliant

Restrict our voices of protest, be quiet and silent,

The longer they stay in power, think we are indispensable

Our minds kept in place by their irresponsible tentacles,

Beyond this merryground of  coercive controlled pestilence

Punctuate their darkness, release angry defiance,

Rising like red roses, together we must stand

Build a fairer society, beyond deepening  quick sand.
