Five Years

Five Years

Conmen, gifting everywhere;

So many truckers sighing;

Queues miles long at Dover;

We’ve got profiteers power supplying;

Hard right’s taking over;

The left is clearly dying;

New guy says we’re Labour led,

But no one’s really buying;

I saw populists, elected by gullibility;

I heard an activists’ hate on TV;

His brain was like a warehouse, it had so much to spare,

He said, send troops to the beach and shoot every illegal there;

And all the trans and gay people;

And all the liberal people;

And all the jobless, poor people;

And all the foreign born people;

I never saw hate for so many people.

An underage kid, off his head,

Shot at Trump, from a building;

If God hadn’t have played a hand,

I think he would’ve killed him.

Old frog face flew across the pond,

For a friend, in need of a pat on the back;

I Hope Clacton-on-Sea’s people are pleased,

Cos I near threw up at the thought of that;

I think I saw you, by a Whetherspoons bar,

Throw a milk shake, cool and long,

Right in his face; he was looking so smug;

Don’t think he knew you were in the throng.

His Reform UK, and Trump’s MAGA’s gaining traction,

And the cause, for sure, is government inaction;

Not gays, not race, not gender, not woke;

It’s super-yachts, not rubber-boats

That’s left us all broke.

We’ve got five years, to roll up the blinds;

Five years, to win hearts and minds;

We’ve got five years, to take back the pot;

Five years, and fix all the rot;

We’ve got five years, to turn back the tide;

Five years, else get privatised;

We’ve got five years, to bring people round;

Five years; wealth don’t trickle down;

We’ve got five years, to reform the UK;

Five years, but not Nigel’s way;

We’ve got five years, to fund the state schools;

Five years, to supply the right tools;

We’ve got five; years for our NHS,

Five years; to be either best;

We’ve got five years; or missed when it’s gone;

Five years; it’s not very long.

Five years,

Five years,

Five years,

Five years.
