POEMS AND PINTS DISCUSSION

Posted on by

Hi everyone (I hope this is the correct spot for this discussion!)

I would like to begin a discussion on how you thought our poems and pints event went.

I thought it went very well. The poetry and music was diverse. The food was good and Delme was an excellent compere. The carol singing was a nice touch. You may have ideas, that could be introduced into this very nice social occasion.

It maybe that by having a shared discussion, people who could not attend this event, do not feel left out.

What do you think ?

A POEM: AUSTERITY

Posted on by

Austerity

Not  the first time so  divisively.

The vulnerable are being  hounded.

Facing  overwhelming austerity.

Should be grateful it’s not you or me?

It must be fearful to be this graded

Not for the first time so divisively

Benefits slashed –  a sad  legacy

Is it  time  to stand and be counted?

Facing  overwhelming  austerity

The safety net removed  what lunacy

‘Shirkers’ an insult. I would feel baited

Not for the first time so divisively

Child poverty  grows causing misery

Queues for food banks have started

Facing  overwhelming  austerity

But debt  is bad  for our country

We can blame  the meek and the  wretched

Not for the first so divisively

Facing  overwhelming  austerity
