Cultivating the Rose
Standing in
the Downing Street Rose Garden
Amongst
deadheads, the new prime minister
Is making
his withering vision clear,
Peering through
rich man’s spectacles. Number ten
Is
significant, as it’ll be a decade
At least
before social democratic
Austerity
eases, having done the trick
Of promising
progress will have been made
Towards a
fairer, wealthier nation.
Meanwhile,
more will have to make do with less,
Even as a privileged
few prosper. Guess
Who? Such is
the dismal situation.
All those
who voted for change can be sure
The Rose
Garden scent is bovine ordure.
D. A.
