Austerity burns holes in existence ( grenfell)

Arrogant ministers
Answerable to
Where the buck stops
The truancy view
Cutting out waste
Confining the spread
Limiting numbers
To victims all led

Out of the ruins
The fireball of hell
Where the poor folk believe
That their tower block cell
Enclosed in this skelethal steel cage
Of woe
Clad in enhancement
For those down below

The tories are bound up in
Undefined spew
Landlords a lot of them
And how they screw
The life from the poor
In as many ways
Their impulse to be
Up for the praise

The pendulam swings
The momentum they feel
Stay put in your homes
Let the true flames reveal
Your orientation
They are now in the way
You will be rescued
Whatever they say

The police on the street
The cuts they are here
41 fire stations closed
It is clear
Cutting inspections
And sacking more
Not voting for improvements
For the resolute poor

Restless and jittery
Wobbly she
Is a bundle of woe
So Heartless she be
Out of the swamp
Where the leeches emerge
To suck vital crimson
And then re submerge

Back to the lies
The black economy
Eviction perdition
And bankruptcy
So many church mice
YES the low paid
Who work all their life
But are seen as third grade

Its about austerity
Breaking the will
Of hard working wage owners
Whose blood they spill
Zero hours contracts
And a means tested life
Food banks and energy starvation
And strife

Having to live cap in hand
Knowing why
You live in a hovel up in the sky
No sprinklers protecting you
No fire alarms
just one escape stairwell
Just one set of arms
Protecting us if the worst
Happens one day
No access for engines
And pent up dismay

So many times we have begged
That they see
The terrible state
Of what is our safety
A very rich borough
As heartless as hell
Balances their books
Whilst our risks they sell

And now it has happened
What do they say
Where are the tories
Who wouldnt pay
For us to be safe
For our children to be
Up in the clouds
Safe and sound and just free

Of the certain panic
And the smell of fire
So few insure
Our lives made more dire
By the standards of building
And the materials used
The cladding for example
We are being abused

All this aluminium
And polyurethane
When the fire started
It so did gain
Passage around us
So little time
To escape
Bloomin kippers
Not worth a dime

Many were told
Wait and we’ll come
With towels under your door
Smoke makes you numb
Chokes up your airwaves
And then actually
You fry in your own fat
Eventually

We look at the hulk
That black tomb now dire
Where many sweet angels
Fuelled the sick fire
Officially seventy nine
But Many more
Statistics on walls
For yet more to ignore

The tories slunk back
In their great caves of sin
As the public at large
They so did begin
Their toil in the sun
Giving / helping them all
Coming together
But those that did rule

The great Mrs May
And the rest of her crew
Did they come to shake hands
With the victims, a few
And the victims they felt like good victims should
Snubbed really and sneered at
With hearts of bent wood

Denial was everywhere
Along with the soot
The pieces of black burning cladding
They put
That cheap shiny covering
Put into place
To give the grenfell
A prettier face

It was just all cosmetic
And the fire soon took hold
No emergency lighting
In darkness we hold
Our own tragic vigil
As some try to leave
But get smoked and then burned
So that others may grieve

Out of pocket expenses
And disbursements we are told
A fund will be raised
And you will be rolled
In the aid of the many
Thankyou Mrs May
But why didnt you speak to us
The other day

Where are the council
None of them came
No hugs no love
In that way more of the same
Before and after
Just left to be
In the shadow of death
To suffer for free

The underprivilged
We have no say
We never had
All we did was to pray
Austerity counts
It gets votes we could see
The rich in their droves
Still voted tory

And now all those aura’s
Just drift too and fro
Through the skelethal remains
Of our homes its a show
All that we had is now burned and charred
We victims returned to the ground
We had starred
In the flaming inferno
We had written before
But ofcourse our landlords had chose
To ignore
