It’s called a blackboard.
It’s not a whiteboard or a chalkboard,
It’s a blackboard,
Because it’s a board that’s black.
It’s called a depression.
It’s not a credit crunch or a double-dip recession,
It’s a depression,
Because that's what it is.
It’s called Big Brother.
It’s not phone hacking or gangstalking,
It's Big Brother,
Because it’s a big, ugly bully that seeks to destroy love.
It’s called tyrannical capitalism.
It’s not the Big Society or measures of austerity,
It’s tyrannical capitalism,
Because it’s theft and we’ve been robbed blind.
It’s called brainwashing.
It’s not political correctness or moral righteousness,
It’s brainwashing,
Because we allowed it to happen.

I wish it wasn't so. I am
I wish it wasn't so. I am worried about the youth of today! But I don't feel brainwashed! I think there is hope and I'm glad I am not a pessimist. I suppose things have to get really bad before they become better. We are crashing here in Denmark as well. Hope your strike gets you somewhere...

First day of my life that
First day of my life that I've been on strike. I just got back from the rally.
I took action in part, because of many of the things that you write so convincingly about here in this crafted, ‘tell it as it is’ poem. You nailed it Blighters.
