The Problem
The Problem
By JFarrell
The problem: War
Why do we have war?
The big boys, the US, Britain and Russia
Sell the guns and tanks to either side in every war
The problem: Unclean drinking water
Why? The wars we enable pollute the land
But, also, we have water-purification tablets;
Why do we not give these away, free
Stop people dying through lack of safe drinking water
The problem: 30 dead in a burned out tower block;
Why? Facts (not opinion): the less fire resistant cladding was used;
Fire services did not have equipment capable of reaching the higher floors
There should start your ‘Public Enquiry’ now.
In these times of austerity it was not cost-efficient
To use the slightly more expensive cladding
Or ensure our fire services were properly equipped
Profit before people is today’s world
Profit is the be all and end all;
Profit and wealth are not the only important things.
People are important, more important.
Think on this, you rich, wealthy people…
Apartheid had to adapt to the fact of there being more black people than white people, or face revolution.
There are far more poor people - people with nothing, people with little, “hard-working, honest families” - than there are rich people.
Vive le Revolution :-)
