I choose to write poetry
To overcome bigotry
To out the inconsistency and inhumanity
Of those who rule but never see, The reality
They choose to think they know what’s best for us in our daily life
But they consistently get it wrong
Choosing leaders who they think resonate with the masses
Because they speak well, wear a tie or are spinners of lies
Who never answer a question or seek to right a wrong
But have strings where a backbone should belong
Creating classes where there should be no divide
Seeing through glasses that are screwed with misplaced pride
Until we as people unite to divide the leaders who lead us to the right
Who make common people want to fight
Who use subterfuge and lies and spin them on Sky, CNN and News at 10
About the Refugees the EU referendum or the NHS
To incite people to do what is wrong in the name of right
But the right is wrong and if they manage to divide
Spouting unchecked fiction instead of fact in our daily lives, on tv and the press
Making decisions without discussion or redress
Creating a world which is such a mess
And we standby and go on with our simple lives, turning a blind eye
Then we all go to to hell

I wrote this rant poem as an instinctive response to my feelings of disillusionment at the establishment and our general culture shift. I decide to stand-up and I continue to do so…..This time last year I was shocked at the lack of facts in the media and the lack of real reporting and journalism. It’s taken until recently for the mainstream media to call out the lack of fact checking in mainstream media news networks and the press but we the people have been calling it since 2008. The politicians and media just don’t seem to have their fingers on the pulse, they still don’t. I hope that things change in light of recent developments ……how long should we have to wait?
