My wife and I both work in the public sector. For years we have 'gone that extra mile' for the people we serve; people who - for a whole variety of reasons - need some support and, more than anything else, need someone to believe in them when they no longer believe in themselves. Now, due to the rampant greed of casino capitalists in the city of London and beyond, the minority coalition government have chosen to make our jobs and these kind of services 'an unaffordable cost'.
Right now, I find myself moving between a state of defiance and one of fear and anxiety. Here is a poem I wrote a couple of days ago as I watched my beautiful family relaxing together...
fear full flight
daze won't wake up
where's the light
I am fading
and I am flailing
and I'm feeling
that I'm failing
Where's that baby's
wide horizon...
Gone, the colour
of the summer,
daze won't wake up
from their slumber...
I am more than just a number!
