Brave New World

The brave new world of Tony Blair
Jobless, homeless everywhere
The N.H.S. is in such a state,
if you want to die, you’ll have to wait.
Not enough police out on the street,
Crime figures are down though, now there’s a feat!
Unemployment’s down but factories still close,
When the PM speaks just watch his nose,
Pinocchio Blair with his Cabinet of wood
He’d be the President if he could
There’s Jack Straw the Home Office man
Always ready to take the can.
We’ve got John Prescott and his two Jags,
And Gordon Brown to tax the fags.
David Plunkett, a rising star,
Estelle Morris she’d could go far!
New Labour with its old ideas
New sound bites with the same old fears
The brave new world of Tony Blair
And half the nation doesn’t care!!

| you're right, people outside of the UK don't see this side of your country's politics. Or at least people in the US don't see this sort of stuff, so I'm glad I read your poem:-) |

Hi,
I just read your poem as well as the one you based on the police, basically i think they're great and voice what so many people think about Labour government ...I've come across few pieces of political poetry which are this easy to digest. The portraits of each figure you describe are set up well and you keep clear-cut points, as well as adding in a hint of sarcasm, thanks for the read.
