Socialist Sonnet No. 52

 With the Blessing of the State

 

O bless the British bourgeois state indeed

For its many benefits and largesse,

There are so, so many hardships and distress

As profit taking triumphs over need.

Government employs executive power

To mitigate the very worst effects,

But whichever party the voter elects

Prospects for many are reduced and dour.

There are honest politicians for sure,

With such good intentions, trying their best,

Yet for all their reforms, what isn’t addressed

In this rich world, why do the poor stay poor?

The fiscal blessings the state arranges,

Aim to ensure nothing really changes.

D. A.
