Post subject:	A simple view.
I am a simple man it seems And happy I should be. Not driven by the money train Or chic celebrity I wish to only live and breath And find a house to dwell And raise a little family With loving wife as well My only wants are very small My outlook always bright To work and earn to feed us all To sleep so sound at night. Be healthy and enjoy life so To me is all it takes But lately it's been touch and go like someone hit the brakes. For all around are darker foes Who's wish it only seems To break the hearts of simple men And shatter all their dreams. Men with money cheat and lie Avoiding any sleaze People in authority We find so hard to please. The law that stands to help us so So strangely now entrenched In battles with the "average Joe" no thought of common sense. Councils snoop and use our cash To persecute the meek While thugs with drugs grow like a rash Each day of every week. Politicians lie and shout And lose the very focus Of what their job is all about a mire of Hocus Pocus. They say that money is so short They haven't got a bean. Yet spend our cash on some report It's really quite obscene So what of I the simple man, Who only wants to live? And raise a little family And has the love to give?. Well truth be told upon my soul A future I have none, Like water down an unplugged hole There's nowhere left to run..
