Acts of god they called them
\nAn inevitable distress
\nA family living in HemeL Hempstead
\nTrying to address
\nWhat is catastrophic
\nWhen storm Clouds opened wide
\nAnd a huge deluge enveloped
\na home and all inside<\/p>\n
The storm drains couldn\u2019t cope
\nAlas
\nCouldn\u2019t stem the tide
\nOf Filthy dirty water
\nAnd faeces from elsewhere
\nCascading up the various drains
\nDacorum didn\u2019t care
\nThere had been floods
\nThey told them
\nBut intermittently
\nSo we\u2019re not prepared to rehouse you
\nWhich is why tragically<\/p>\n
Ofcourse again it\u2019s happened
\nThe family split in two
\nhaving to live now separately
\nNot what families should do
\nAll of their belongings
\nEvery precious thing
\nDestroyed in what was an act of god
\nThe excuse that some do bring<\/p>\n
The heartlessness apparent
\nUnrelentingly
\nforced to live in fear
\nEach day
\nCompassion tragically
\nHaving empathy for others
\nLess fortunate than you
\nWhere is the recognition
\nIn what our Councils do<\/p>\n
Allowing their tenants
\nTo suffer seriously
\nThey just pay no attention
\nTo what was humanity
\nAnd it happens in Hemel Hempstead
\nNot some far off African state
\nWhere is the consolation
\nSadly it\u2019s not great<\/p>\n
Someone in the council
\nPronounces edicts as to who
\nCan live in relative peace and quiet
\nIn accordance to
\nA safe And risk free dwelling
\nBut they Were told it would\u2019t happen
\nThey were clueless
\nand might now rue<\/p>\n
Their informative decision
\nThe oracle had spoken
\nThe suffering it is immense
\nTheir whole world is broken
\nBut Dacorum they knew better
\nTheir philanthropy Extends
\nInto oblivion when it\u2019s comes to you and me
\nIt sends<\/p>\n
Their consciousness and chivalry
\nCan\u2019t you feel it they
\nHave their brand new building
\nIn the Marlowes where they pay
\nSo much to the community
\nSuch benefits all share
\nThe altruistic Wizards
\nYes We know that they are there<\/p>\n
And now an honest family
\nPleads for somewhere new
\nWhere the storm Drains hold back
\nThe floods of filth and poo
\nDacorum\u2019s oracle in play
\nThe great and good will be
\nPeering into their crystal ball
\nOf amiability.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
