Societies veil

A little something about the state the worlds in

We ponder international dangers

Of Middle Eastern crisis'

Of Warfare in a foreign land

 

Can we not just consider our freedom?

This veil that politicians place

Over already blinded eyes

 

Their dark cloud of judgement overshadows

The peoples sun

Casting shadows of poverty

And of grief

 

Is this just another Thatcher?

This ConDem league of de-moralization

 

Are these the days that we hated so much?

The working class shot down

Like the HIndenburg

 

We feel the pounding of their rifle

Of unemployment

Driving loved ones into oblivion

Forced to benefits

 

Our country is falling apart

Is this what we are destined for?

We were once an empire

Rulers of the world

And now....

We are nothing

I love the message behind the poem.

[Chris Smith Welshpoetcs]

These are difficult times we live in.

[FJ Davis]

A vivid snapshot of worldly woes. While "we" may, indeed, be nothing, the individual is everything.
And yes, Sherb, what of freedom? Freedom is not just a great idea or a sweet fringe benefit--it is the solution!
Consequential piece.

[sushi]

A very pitiable picture of what we have let to happen to yourself.

[Skoo.]
