Kid the people
once too often.
Tramp your mantra
of a new dawn
in the minds
of the broken.
 
Change their perception
with repeated calls
to arms.
Our NHS needs saving.
Our country,
liberating
from addicts
and immigrants.
 
Overhaul the welfare
with a wink.
Kiss blown to
silent stakeholders
comforted by
2974% ARP
 
In an alleyway
in a shinier part of town,
landing on their feet
the fat cats survive
yet another life.
