A poem a week for 2012 - A record of a year in the life of...


 ...  Austerity Street

The road was up the chips they were down
The pennies were making the future go round
And rounding up stragglers waiting to race
Stopped the mould-trodden elders their mouths lined with paste




A word in your ear is a sentence pronounced
The darkened enlightenment underdogs trounced
Your eyes look up to a bright day ahead
Clouds lie behind you, your tears they have shed

Abandonment intrigue now belonging is bitter
Membership classes will shatter and splinter
The shards they will gauge you the lambs they may bleat
All hope is a corpse in austerity street
