Pick My Pocket

A poem from 2019

You took money out of my pocket

And gave it to the workshy, the dossers and the lazy

You took money out of my pocket

And saved the life of a stranger while wasting billions on inefficient IT systems

You took money out of my pocket

And educated the children of others, turning them into politically correct, brainwashed fools

You took money out of my pocket

And flew overseas, at times to help the poor and at times to gun them down

You took money out of my pocket

To build roads and bridges I will never travel along

You took money out of my pocket

And gave it to a foreign superstate

And when I ask, who gave you the right?

You say, well, you voted us in
