Your Ordinary Citizens
Have not had a break in such a long time,
shoplifting’s on the rise,
a victimless crime,
no off-ramp in sight,
and didn’t you vote for Brexit?
Headline inflation’s on the up,
something about an oil slump
your prices rising at the pump,
benefit costs of feeding the five thousand invalids,
and didn’t you elect Boris?
It’s a profoundly devastating unenviable - a big spike
from your bottom on the rise,
and there’ll be a hike
in mortgages, rents, package holiday flights,
and didn’t you catch Love Island?
No comfort at all, post Covid, after Austerity, it’s all in bits,
massive effect of an immediate hit,
your heating bill’s due a bit of a blip,
something to do with geopolitics,
to be honest, didn’t understand it,
something about existential shit,
and didn’t you vote for Brexit?
