3\/7\/2009<\/p>\n
SOuthwark Council had to pay
\n\u00a3270,000 fine
\nPlus costs of \u00a3300,000,
\nA lot of heads were on the line
\n3 women died and 3 babies too
\nBurned to death
\nAnd it was due<\/p>\n
To botched conservation work alas
\nFire stopping was compromised
\nyes en masse
\nThe councils inspections were
\nForgotten about
\nAnd the fire brigade too they were called out
\nunaware of the lay out and that was why
\nThe tenants were left in situ to die<\/p>\n
The inquest took 10 weeks
\nTo deliberate
\nSprinklers would certainly
\nHave improved their fate
\nBut nothing was learned
\nApparently
\nFor Grenfell has happened
\nAs we can all see<\/p>\n
But this conflagration
\nThis horror we know
\nHas killed many many
\nThe council must go
\nWith so many warnings from
\nThe tenants ignored
\nAnd once again the fire brigade
\nHadnt explored
\nThe layout it seems to me
\nAnd once again
\nSome died in situ
\nThat now is plain<\/p>\n
The cladding and windows
\nBurned out rapidly
\nThe spread of the fire
\nUnbelievably
\nSwift via the cladding
\nActually this was
\nContributary only because<\/p>\n
At Lakanal house
\nEric Pickles he knew
\nWhat had to be done
\nBut at GRENFELL its true
\nNothing was done
\nThe same mistakes made
\nCuts yes the cuts
\nOn whose heads are they laid<\/p>\n
The government made them
\nAcross the board
\nAnd it seems every aspect
\nOf life to afford
\nAll the laws and happenings
\nIt just could not be
\nAnd people have died
\nIn this new tragedy<\/p>\n
No inquest a great shame
\nSo the residents they
\nWill not Be able
\nTo have their say
\nThat in itself is a healing of soughts
\nA judicial hearing
\nCreates different thoughts
\nIt often takes longer
\nAnd is at the control
\nOf government sadly
\nOne without a soul<\/p>\n
500 people were resident here
\nThe death toll will rise
\nThough the tenants were clear
\nThere has been such neglect
\nAnd its happening still
\nIll considered and unconcerned
\nAnd we all feel the chill
\nOf heedlessness and victimization
\nIts really been hostile
\nAnd real exploitation<\/p>\n
Austere cuts are one thing
\nSafety of souls
\nIts undemocratic
\nTo ramp up controls
\nThat become tyrannical
\nBrutal and cruel
\nAnd when findings are made
\nThey just add to more fuel<\/p>\n
Electrical fault to tv in one flat
\nTenants told to stay put
\nCompartmentalisation
\nBut that caused their deaths<\/p>\n
Public enquiries seldom see corporate
\nManslaughter charges but since the police and fire brigade
\nAre doing their own enquiries hopefully if any are culpable they can be sent to prison<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
