We’ve had it for over a year

They said we have nothing to fear

‘We’ll learn from the trials

It’s sure to be miles

Better than all that you hear!’

 

We’ve had it for over a year

The new penal system austere

And sanctions ensure that

You have to endure that,

While cuts keep the bogeyman near

 

We’ve had it for over a year

Pay in arrears de rigour

‘To wait’s educational

An income probational

All part of your jobsearch career.’

 

We’ve had it for over a year

And digital’s what they prefer

They’ll move you on line

There’s no chance to decline

Dyslexia just disappear…

 

We’ve had it for over a year

You’d think that the rules would be clear

But government errors

Still cause endless terrors

And clarity doesn’t seem near

 

We’ve had it for over a year

And all that we feared did appear

Money is owing

And poverty’s growing,

Despondency stalks with a sneer

 

We’ve had it for over a year

We must give them something to fear

Enough is enough

Oh away with this stuff

New Year’s revolution start here!
