The State We’re In

They claim there is a “big black hole”,
Of which, they were ne’er tole.
But, we know, of this they lie,
“It’s the fault of others”, they cry!

And so, a vote is being done,
Whereby the rich, decide the outcome.
To make the poor, more poorer still,
To make the sick, even more ill.

They say cutting fuel payments is due,
To fill this hole, nothing else will do.
Whilst they spend billions abroad,
On a phony war and climate fraud.

Some will abstain, afraid of losing the whip,
They’ll lose more than dignity, aboard that ship.
The people have memories, strong and long,
And time will come, when those MPs are gone.

Those same MPs claiming expenses for fuel,
Whilst taking away from others is cruel.
Whilst two-tier Keir, jails everyone quick,
For simply stating the people are sick.

Sick and tired of the endless mire,
Of broken pledges and this liar.
Who said many things, before elected,
All of which he’s now rejected.

Never stopping the boats, letting illegals in,
Housing them all, it really is grim.
Releasing prisoners, halfway through term,
This PM is nought but a germ.

A charlatan, a weasel, a public disgrace,
I don’t know how he can keep a straight face.
Starmer the traitor, the backstabbing cunt,
He really does have some front.

The quicker he’s gone, the better for all.
When that happens, we’ll have a ball.
He won’t be missed, is what many confess,
As he continues to perpetuate this mess.

In Hallowed Halls…

In hallowed halls, they counted thus.
All the votes, submitted by us.
There felt like there was change in the air,
For about only one party, did we care.

But it seems it was not to be.
People voted for those who took the knee,
For a career criminal and the corrupt BLM,
You have to wonder, what got into them?

Women betrayed, by men in frocks,
By blokes trying to hide their cocks.
As they take over women’s spaces,
And women’s sports and other places.

Supported by a government they voted in,
The future feels bad, feels somewhat grim.
A minister who believes you can grow a cervix,
If you’re one of many that hosts dicks.

This country feels lost, as do I.
I feel like I just want to cry.
Now is the calm before the storm,
Maybe one day we’ll get Reform.
