dark walk
as the wind howls
metal fences cry

half a million workers
walk out on strike today
wages and working conditions.
The poverty of the working class
highlighted by Coventry Football Club
who spend six billion
on new players.
There's a disparity here
exacerbated by a right-wing government
who cut taxes for the well off.
Let's have a multi-party system
and promote discussion
and the rights of minorities.
We don't realise until too late
we are between the wars.
