Because of your lies

I’m tired

A hundred thousand children sanctioned

Hungry

Because of your lies

A million using food banks, swallowing pride

Hungry

Because of your lies

Homeless numbers rising

Cold out there in winter

Another body, some body

Dies

Because of your lies


Heartless must have a heart

Faithless must have faith

Liar

Only needs a paid-for mouth - don’t blink, swallow


Sell another hospital

Children must be profitable

“Throw another on the fire,

It’s cold in here.”


One gives up

Can take no more

Suicide

Hungry

Cold

Because of your lies


Thumbs up privilege patronage

“Choose to be poor?

The sentence is -

Death”

Because of your lies


See what you’ve done?

Defend your petty bubble

We’re invisible

Another pocket picked

Because of your lies
