Poetic-Verses
'' We'll Be Better Off Dead ''
My life I'll enrich I'll find a job,
For work I've an itch to earn a bob,
I'm now employed things are going great,
Though I'm quite annoyed I do have to state.
Though I'm working hard I don't earn enough,
My future's marred life is really tough,
How can this be they say working pays,
From what I can see it's not the right phrase.
Paying poverty wages does not augur well,
What really rages is we're going through Hell?
After mortgage and tax we've got nothing left,
We cannot relax because we're bereft.
Pay rises gone unless you're a politician,
We are overdrawn it's a war of attrition,
The government aren't listening we're on the edge,
While their pockets are glistening ours we dredge.
With prices rising and interest rates low,
Their lies we're despising for soon they will grow,
The booming economy will then come to bite,
We'll lose our autonomy when they turn out the light.
Zero hours contracts means you're not unemployed,
Not allowed other contacts leaves your wallet devoid,
Not able to earn soon the truth will have dawned,
When will we learn we are just being conned.
As the wealthy get richer of course paid for by us,
You'll soon get the picture don't dare make a fuss,
Against their corruption you must turn a blind eye,
If you cause them disruption be prepared to die.
We working class fools are playing their game,
When the rich break the rules we take the blame,
Waken up now or it has to be said,
They'll destroy us and how,
' We'll Be Better Off Dead '
