HUNG OUT TO DRY

The Britain booming for the few
The Tory ethic nothing new
The workers dreams that turned to dust
The sting the dole the Britain bust
The P45's sent out by mail
The hanging posts that read FOR SALE
The negative equity hidden from sight
The lives of thousands ruined overnight
The pompous smile the Tory lie
The working man hung out to dry
The bitter pill the ticking clock
The dreaded bailiffs haunting knock
The shattered hopes the auctioned homes
The vultures picking on victims bones
The gutted feeling deep down inside
The low self esteem the stolen pride
The arrogant manner
The Tory lie
The working man
Hung out to dry

Anyone who lived in Britain when the  Tory Government was in power 80's - 90's will know what this poem is about.
