Bleak outlook;for some

A rant

Bleak outlook for some.

 

I did not think things could get worse.

But I was wrong quite obviously

The guardians of the public purse.

Decided unilaterally.

 

We must reduce expenditure

I have no choice but to agree.

Though I am absolutely sure

 all will not suffer equally.

 

The savage cuts which they propose

may well reduce the deficit.

I see no reason to suppose

 that everyone will benefit.

 

The rich of course won’t feel the chill.

The little man will have to pay.

He always did and always will.

Because that is the Tory way.

 

It is their mission to conserve

 the privilege which they enjoy

By any method which will serve

 and any means they can employ.

 

Perhaps I have a biased view.

.Maybe I am too cynical.

Though I believe my words are true.

I could be wrong it’s possible.

 

That they are acting for the best.

A dangerous experiment.

Which when they put it to the test.

Might just succeed by accident.

 

Then they will claim all credit due.

But if it fails they will deny

 as politicians always do

They had no choice ;they had to try.

 

 Though you may take a different view.

Not everybody will agree

 What you conclude is up to you.

I think we’ll have to wait and see.

 

 I do not think this government

Will last.The strains are showing now.

The general public discontent.

How long before their final bow.

 

The rich cannot impose their will

As they have always done before.

Why should the poorest foot the bill

A question that they can’t ignore.

 

Although I’m sure that they will try.

By quoting massaged statistics.

Which I for one choose not to buy.

I can see through their dirty tricks.

The poor do foot the bill, true so true, but the bailout recipients do not have to say what they did with the money. Banks, insurance companies etc. are just padding their personal accounts. But I don't see how they cannot impose their will any more though, since it has been going on for some time in both political parties. It is all just a scam on the American people. Good poem, though.
