Don't Worry It's All Been Planned Poem by Mark Heathcote

Change is brought about by erosion
Look around, and you will all come to see.
That our progress is made verboten
Want something privatised that's easy?

Cut all funding till the wheels fall off
And say, here's what'll fix it; for not a lot.
You can even buy shares, but, here's the tip-off
'We'll never invest; bonuses are our mascot'.

Even going greener makes them much richer
I've now a blue bin, a brown one and a black
And, one for indoors for free what a lucky chap
I can have a green one for only £20 a year.

Change is brought about by erosion
Dear, please don't worry; it's all been, planned
Everything has a cycle that requires action
'Just don't tell them, about the quicksand'.

See, it's all happening again, boom and bust
Whatever happened to prams with a little rust?
We're-all-in-it-together granddad is a good fellow
Take out your life savings, spends that's the motto.

Pay freeze, cut pay, and cut family tax credits
We'll make them third-class citizens obedient
They'll come begging with their empty wallets
Once more to the factory floor less flippant.
