premier, sir
they riot outside
bread shortages
the price of milk
too high

the pumps, president
they're running dry
nary have i seen gas
ever so high,
not in my life

they protest us
who reside in parliament
london has homeless
we exit the union
no plan except for total independence

arrogance
from career politicians
who had no place
pursuing their trade
but they did, anyway

act as though
the people did not put you there
that can be taken
that which was given
as the breath in your body
to leave you winded
gasping for air
