Shards.

Hospital beds sit in Threadneedle coffers
Patients with patience are bankrupt to offers
Ambulance staff parking outside the doors
No beds are available only the floors
An MP is coming perhaps things will change
But he can't stay long with so much to arrange
His expenses need sorting his snout's in the trough
He gets so much money though he says not enough.

Policemen cling longingly to a yesterday world
Where justice was justice not a white flag unfurled
The ASBO's ain't working the drugs they are rife
The law on the street is the blade of a knife
Judges that live in a world from reality
Pass sentences down that destroy our humanity
Rapists and robbers shrug off their convictions
While watching Sky Channel in palatial prisons

Teachers can't teach we all should be equal
No-one can win and there's never a sequel
The brightest and best must use their imagination
While the drop-outs get a T.A and all the attention
Classroom disruption is always on the table
If they do it enough they get a ADHD label
Funding from central government and a free taxi home
While bright kids who listen are left on their own

A lesson was learned when I was so young
The consequences harsh if I did something wrong
But here and now kids just have all the cards
Discipline gone in a million shards
Liberal thinking and fairness for all people
It's turned full circle now its anything but equal
Our leaders aren't leaders they can't flex their muscles
They are held to account by unaudited Brussels.

Shout "Human Rights" and your case is dismissed
Common sense lost in the Lawyers abyss
Its all for the money no pride now remains
We sue for the fun regardless of blame
So light one small candle and pray for humanity
Before it is lost on a wave of insanity
For even our leaders crave money not choice
But when all's said and done it's the peoples own choice.
