NHS – No Hounding Socialism
It’s a great big giant but gentle
born in 1948 of parents governmental
a prodigy at an early age
in saving lives it was engaged
many who had been in ill-health all their lives
were shown mercy when the big one arrived
it was cash on the nail before that
now it was the welcome mat
but its compassion didn’t influence the
Lilliputians
when they decided on retribution
though it hadn’t done anything wrong
they decided it didn’t belong
the world had changed and money was king
time to take down the giant time to sling
every value that reflected social democracy
the free market can’t be a mockery
time to tie the giant down
trip it up make it lie flat on the ground
but it’s resisting though they’ve tied one hand
while the other one punches out at the attempted
re-brand.
Wilson John Haire.
