OUR COUNTRY.

This is a funny old country we live in,

Full of hatred and greed,

The rich fill their pockets with money,

while our poor just sit there in need,

The immigrants line our country like books along a shelf,

To our jobs, housing and benefits they help themselves.

Cheap labour, cheap pay you can bring a few mates.

Move in the whole family on a council estate.

Four pound an hour, pay you in cash,

You can send some home or keep it as stash.

Or failing that if no offers, try the job centre today,

If you don’t have a job, they will give you free pay,

Milk tokens for your babies, sixty pound in the pot.

And a council grant if you need one, right on the spot!

A school for your kids half a mile up the road,

Or we can give you a car to lighten the load.

You can use our doctors freely, be seen by the NHS

No wonder this whole country is in such mess!

This is a funny old country we live in 

because all people do is take,

It will be a broken country we will be living in soon,

make no mistake!

    First they came for jews
    But I said nothing cos I was not a jew.
    Then they came for the communists
    But I said nothing cos I was not a communist
    Then they came for the trade unionists
    But I said nothing cos I was not a trade unionist
    Then they came for me
    But there was no one left to speak for me

    The immigrants were not allowed into your country by the immigrants .They were allowed in by your own elected leaders to do the shit jobs that you would not or probably could not do .

    Make no mistake ?

    I never mentioned immigrants being entered in by other immigrants, our Government is to blame for this, I think you may of taken this poem the wrong way. Thanks for the opinion though :)
