So many lives destroyed by greed
Too many hungry mouths to feed.
The rich blame the poor for being lazy and feckless
The poor blame the rich for being greedy and reckless.

Refugees escape from terror and wars.
Dreaming of landing on welcoming shores.
Condemned by the government, who say they can’t stay
Yet happily collect all the taxes they pay

The wealthy send their children to the best public schools
Some look upon the poorest as just worthless fools
The poor are divided while the richest still prosper
While queues at local foodbanks continue to grow longer

Covid is rampant and many have died
Indecisive leadership is the main reason why
As ministers line friends’ pockets with contracts and fees
All we see are price rises and ******

Government leaders instructed all to stay home
While some friends and relatives were dying alone
As hospital visits and large gatherings were banned
Top Tories went ahead with the parties they’d planned

Leaders are chosen by media manipulation
Then fight their cause with enhanced reputations
Our press is controlled by the wealthiest few.
So, who really decides what we see in the news?

These are political issues, but many don't care.
Yet the wealth divide remains massively unfair.
Many believe they just have no choice
So, stand up and be heard, coz we all have a voice.
