Concealed Corruption

Peak behind the veil

Of sunny happy London

Tear through the corprate lies

Dont be distracted by the media hype

Buried in the folders and files

Shuffled under beds of the dealers and the hustlers

lurking behind bank desks

hiding behind impressive name badges

London's corruption burnt deep

a city plunged into recession

riots hang heavy, strikes reoccur

A city covered in a deathly shame

Elections for a greater cause

False promises and glorified suits

Disregard for diplomacy

An unsettled rage remains

Money leaks through the fingers of the rich

lavished away from the chaos created by there greed

Pockets squeezed and drained 

A desperation of distress as cuts axe jobs

The Olympics some scheme to happiness

Bring in the tourists

bring in the millions

to laugh and stare at the remains of an attraction

Roads collapsing , diversions to nowhere

transportation stuffed like tin cans

road signs, road works a grid lock for eternity

doubtless some aggressive display

May we crumble beneath it all for our sins

A city built for the gods , demolished by selfish deeds

Reality what is printed on the TV screens

sheltered like babies from our sickening disease
