Caught the 9.15 coach from Manchester
To London to take part in an event
At the Poetry Library, South Bank Centre
Poetic protest against government
A gathering of well-meaning dissent
I looked, but didn't spot George Osborne there
After the reading was finished, a friend
Of a friend said to us, 'He dyes his hair'
It's a shame in a way though that despair
Is necessary before we can stir
Ourselves to speaking out, to circumvent
The politicians using Westminster
For personal gain in this atmosphere
Of cutbacks, but it's time that's quite well-spent
Wed 5 Jan
