battle weary lacking inspiration
depressed by cut and burn of this Con-Dem-nation
looking from ruins half built schools, internecine dreams
plays kids & teachers, lethal teams
choking Gove
how dare he have a title linked to education
when dust has cleared he's pushing 3 tier nation
of students fit to stay where they belong
not dare to raise their heads above the throng
for those who have then they will get some more
or join elites and add smug to their core

Equality plea #BAD2014 #inequality #Oct16 #BlogAction
brothers and sisters on the planet will agree
that what we need is more equality
everyone does better as the 'Spirit Level' * shows
when the richest and the poorest can be buying the same clothes
sack cloth and ashes though don't do it for me
but the richest need to share their dosh with some humility
all races and religions and genders need to gain
governments around the world should live up to their name
move towards equality far from poverty and fear
its possible each dawn will lead us out of this nadir
* The Spirit Level: Why Equality is Better for Everyone (K Pickett & R Wilkinson)

Kabul Boys gotta run for your lives
keep looking round as you try to survive
Instinct makes you want to seek the light
your family are dead should you stay and fight ?
Kabul, Kabul, Kabul Boys, gotta run
Kabul Kabul Kabul Boys gotta run
Kabul Boys gotta run run run
Block out the pain as you seek the sun
You cant beat the force that has smashed your home
Just look around you are on your own
Kabul Kabul Kabul Boys gotta run
Kabul Kabul Kabul Boys gotta run
keep moving on any way that you can
travel like baggage in the back of a van
train, truck trailer carries you away
still looking for some where safe to stay
Kabul Kabul Kabul Boys gotta run
Kabul Kabul Kabul Boys gotta run
Asylum Seekers when they hit UK
no words in English they cant have their say
Young & clever they just needed a chance
found some people who would make a stance
Kabul Kabul Kabul Boys aint gotta run
Kabul Kabul Kabul Boys aint gotta run
Followed the rules of Look and Learn
Made great progress from term to term
got to college and learning still
didn't know the government was meaning ill
Kabul Kabul Kabul Boys sound the alert
Kabul Kabul Kabul Boys sound the alert
Nightmares should fade as they find a dream
rebuilt lives for Zubair & Fahim
threatened by refusal of right to remain
government decisions that are clearly insane
Kabul Kabul Kabul Boys need you now
Kabul Kabul Kabul Boys need you now
Judgement day that has come so soon
Fears & hopes trepidise the room
Army of supporters that wont give way
Sway the judge and win the day
Kabul Kabul Kabul boys gonna stay
keep looking round as you try to survive
Instinct makes you want to seek the light
your family are dead should you stay and fight ?
Kabul, Kabul, Kabul Boys, gotta run
Kabul Kabul Kabul Boys gotta run
Kabul Boys gotta run run run
Block out the pain as you seek the sun

bullies
billy the bully sits on a throne
with only one space he sits there alone
although those beneath him are physically there
this bully's no vision of power to share
he's in every classroom and workplace and street
billy's the one that you don't want to meet
in tim id ation and threats are the norm
for billy to brag himself top of the form
for those who are bullies there's one thing they dread
as sycophants fade no more to be bled
they'll be no compassion to pity their plight
as their deeds of 'success' are seen in new light
and those bullied few who've survived and still write
will rise up with rancour and rejoin the fight
with only one space he sits there alone
although those beneath him are physically there
this bully's no vision of power to share
he's in every classroom and workplace and street
billy's the one that you don't want to meet
in tim id ation and threats are the norm
for billy to brag himself top of the form
for those who are bullies there's one thing they dread
as sycophants fade no more to be bled
they'll be no compassion to pity their plight
as their deeds of 'success' are seen in new light
and those bullied few who've survived and still write
will rise up with rancour and rejoin the fight
I've met some tossers in
my time
and now there's one just up the line.
Bulging ego; an elephant in the room;
as if I might be leaving soon.
I do like elephants but this one's white,
so I'll not be going without a fight,
(nor easily hung out to dry)
I'd like a thick skin but emotions are high.
Anger burns and ice cuts deep
And no one wins except deceit.
Bullies look to cause most pain
And maximise financial gain
So when the house of cards does tumble
They’ll be no room where they can grumble
Whistles blowing loud and clear
Consequence of little fear
And strong determination

Sum mit up?
Dicey Dave dives once more into the mesh of multi-cultur-al
sends his bulldog eric pickle, armed with hammer but no sickle, to bash and crash and cause alarm.
what a waste of all that flesh making nothing but a mess as all tough tories strive to show that 'oh yes they'll stem the flow' of those that queue and want to work, decrying nothing,
add their culture to our pot; throw their efforts to our lot, even though we're driven down;
no petrol left to cruise the town as Maude filled jerry to the brim,
saves us from sharing with the poor, out of work they'll ask for more
but George O will not let them suffer, just as long as they stay in the gutter,
well away from tax avoiders, bullingdon maulers,trust fund hoarders, eton boarders and the filthy rich;
water's rationed so they cant come clean just yet but watch the space,transmogrify apace, deface that
Dave and George O hurtle into space created by the turmoil they unleashed; the slash and burn, the crass destructive test of market forces, the sacrifice of millions on the dole, youth and students sucked into the hole; nhs and education tatters
but nothing matters.... the libs weep and see too late their catastrophic streak, with 'it's our only chance'and 'it wont come again' emblazoned on their shrouds
but nothing happens....

this week
bloody cold, if truth be told but cant have too much of that or the daily mail will smell a rat and see one too where ere they can or spout their lies to leveson
Mails ann leslie on qt, shouting down a sceptic crowd though looking ready for a shroud espousing thatcher's bile of old and proving that she's not yet cold just resting in dementia; time to light the fire
