 A New Woman

Written 2016 
Another one stashed away 


We are not made of money
All we want is a genuine phone call 
TEL us you love us and care 
Say you are praying 
We work for the tax man 
We are not made of sterling silver 
We are made of gold 
We are human and can't sell chunks of our body 
Until we nonexistent 
You only call when you need us 
Again the same old things 
Settle a debt or to get your desires 
We pay the taxman  
Did you not know what risky and life-threatening jobs are out there 
A stuntman saved the actor, fires were stopped by brave men 
Soldiers stopped terrorists and surgeons, nurses and doctors saved my life 
Wait don't you ever forget 2012 the police helped me and solicitors and lawyers for me justice 
Teachers taught you, cashiers swiped your groceries and pay the tax man 
Funding now cut down to next to nothing and the Tories take all 
We are left paying without beneficial community services 
Even our healthcare is now at risk and I wanted was to say hello 
Now I wish I never bothered caring
