Our forebears fought for rights
strived for children’s lives
worked to establish
protection for the ill
the old and those
who could not look
after themselves
its a neighborly thing
to look after kith and kin
even when they aren’t your own
we’ve been through this before
the rich the vested interest
and the “poor law”
time to look after our own
time to look it in the eye
see what it is
see what its for
make sure you vote
with your eyes open
don’t give your vote away!
