Dear Prime Minister

Dear Prime Minister, hear our rage,

In this land where hunger's gauge

Measures the weight of empty plates,

While you debate in ivory states.

Dear Prime Minister, the NHS gasps for breath,

Under your watch, it faces death.

Patients suffer, waiting in vain,

As you turn a blind eye to their pain.

Dear Prime Minister, corruption thrives,

In the shadows where the truth connives.

Police stained in the darkest hue,

Shielding power, but not from our view.

Dear Prime Minister, every alley, every street,

Echoes with voices, bitter and fleet.

Your failures, Prime Minister, we cannot ignore,

For they haunt us like never before.

Dear Prime Minister, the tears we shed,

Are testament to dreams left dead.

Your promises, like sand, slip away,

As we struggle to see the light of day.

Dear Prime Minister, heed our cry,

For justice lost beneath your lie.

We stand united, strong and tall,

Until fairness triumphs over all.
