Capitalism is working<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

by Mike Jenkins<\/em><\/p>\n

We\u2019re running out of petrol
On the road to oblivion.<\/p>\n

Food or heat the choice
For many who are struggling.<\/p>\n

The sea and the rivers
Have become our enemies.<\/p>\n

Thatcher hacked identities
Many years ago.<\/p>\n

Talk about North Korea
As TV fawns over monarchy.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re paying for vanity railway
As ours are cancelled, running late.<\/p>\n

Homeless people beg on busy streets,
Cups empty as second homes;<\/p>\n

Language and culture has no insurance policy,
Like a redundant person, alone.<\/p>\n

Women who steal ripped from families
While Prince Andrew still goes free.<\/p>\n

Supermarket shelves like the ol\u2019 USSR,
But capitalism\u2019s working, you see.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
