Work 1980s London.@ Grimes/Hrybowicz. Written in Bethnal Green, so far the longest I have ever lived anywhere.
Sitting on a wall in somewhere town -
Looking through a mirror
See tomorrow’s hours on the ground.
Got nowhere to go
Filling up the hours with a TV screen.
Am I a failure?
I don’t seem to fit in the worldly scheme
Why not?
Work, it's a fundamental right
Looking west and looking east
Travel light, forget the beast ..
a new way of trying.
What they have is for themselves ..
we’re not invited to the feast
people are dying.
Closed all the doors no work around
Political lying ..
They say
‘Forget what's yours, don't make a sound it’s mine.’
Why not?
Can you ski on butter mountains?
Can you swim on milky lakes?
The tons of grain they throw away
Could feed a million mouths today
I can see it, you can see it.
Why Not?
Work. It's a fundamental right
