A poem based on the government and the council only recently.

 

In Wales there are many castles on top of the hills

Now the war is over, Wales have a new battle on their hands

Castles were built to keep the emery at bay, now it’s a battle of wills

Keeping their heritage across their lands.

 

 

The government is on the attack

Leaving behind a nasty taste

While the welsh people try to attract

People to come to visit this beautiful place.

 

 

It’s a new war

Keeping our fields with sheep and cattle

They are trying to close the door

With us fighting a losing battle.

 

 

It is greener this side, we say it with pride

Looking at fields through fences of wire

A place where you can visit the countryside

It’s a good place to retire.

 

We are happy in our comfort zone

They won’t rest until all the jobs are gone

Why can’t the government leave us alone

Getting rid of jobs in Wales one by one.

 

No phone box working to call home

We can’t walk late around the park

If stranded we can’t use our mobile phone

With no phones working and no lights working, we are left in the dark.

 

 

Watch out, for the bad weather kills

No tourist information to help you on your way

So if you get lost up in those black hills

With no mobile reception, you are on your own, you might say.

 

 

No public toilets open to spend a penny

If you do live in the sticks, you need a car

There used to be many

No public transport either if you do live far.

 

 

Jobs are disappearing fast,

We can’t see at night

They want to see how long we will last

Living in the dark ages with no streetlight.

    Nice post! Very interesting article you got here. Talking about government, I hate our government’s system here in our country.

    Good write. We can all relate to what you describe. They need to get involved in their government.

    great and informative poem. I think rather than loose your beautiful land, it would be worth living in the dark ages. Set up a smoke signals course for all that are interested! I am not that far away…I would love to be living in a cave with, sheep and cows outside! Wales is Beautiful…hang on to it!
