UK AUSTERITY

nephilim56

They forced 300,000
Toward an early death
The old sick and vunerable
We should never forget.

Austeritys genocide
In the 6th richest country in the world
Carried out by politicians
Who gave themselves a pay rise.

It appears its swept
Under the carpet of time
Something not mentioned
Idealogy and lies.

With numbers so large
We forget individuals who died
Some of starvation
Slow death and suicide.

Forced to walk to jobcentres
Tortured by those
Who were given ultimate power
Wheelchairs in rows.

They shut down the lifts
Interviews held upstairs
Lasting one hour
Two flights of stairs.

The sick werent allowed
To be sick anymore
This brutal ideology
At politicians door.

      Austerity is a failed policy yet still repeated with the same results
