Crisis

From pandemic to a war
Times never cease to be cruel
The cost of living starts rising
Now people can't afford their weekly fuel

Budgets are drawn up, there's
Big cuts to the National Health
Still, the top cats sit back
As they keeping growing their vast wealth

Strikes start to happen
As the workers begin their fight
There'll be more strikes this winter
Likes the ones of a match to create light

The government stands by
As sewage pours into the river
When the cold starts to hit
Will you choose darkness or will you shiver?

Tensions start to mount
Worry spreads across the nation
Meanwhile, our leader
Takes a 'well deserved' vacation

'Just turn off your lights,
And put on another coat'
Please remember these words
The next time you come to vote
