Robin Hood

 


Like a back to front Robin Hood,

up to no good.

Stealing from the poor.

to give the rich some more.

First they said it was about our health,

more like a transference of wealth

from the have nots

to the already have lots.

 

It's a system that is inherently flawed,

you are asking greedy people

to ignore their instinct to hoard.

Wealth is supposed to trickle to those down below

but the rich just invest in bigger bowls

to stop the overflow.

 

Blaming it on a war now.

Missiles don't grow on trees

and we need these

to bring our enemies to their knees.

Funny then how It's us bowing down,

begging for scraps, cap in hand

whilst money burns

along with innocent lives in distant lands.

 

Pound takes a nosedive,

prices continue to rise.

Until we can't survive.

Where is the anger?

The sense of injustice?

Have we all become puppets

working to fill their pockets?

 

Seems like the whole system is broken,

money, nothing but a class token.

Profits soar, but still we must pay more.

Energy bosses, record breaking profits

yet all we see are losses.

Heating isn't a luxury

when we hit a deep freeze.

Having food on the table is a necessity,

so please

give us bread not austerity.
