Life in a Tory Britain

They came for the poor,
I was not poor, yet I still spoke up,
They told me what they were doing was necessary and part of a long term economic plan,
Their plan made me and those I loved worse off.

Then,
They came for the poor,
I was not yet poor, still I spoke up,
They told me what they were doing was necessary and part of a long term economic plan,
Their plan made me and those I loved worse off.

Then,
They came for the poor,
I was still not yet poor, I spoke up,
They told me what they were doing was necessary and part of a long term economic plan,

Their plan made me and those I loved worse off.

Then,
They came for the poor,
I was poor, when I spoke they no longer heard.

What an awkward question. There's nothing that makes me different from everyone else apart from the undefinable spirit that makes me question what makes me different from everyone else, But everyone has one of those.

The truth is, if I'm honest, I don't know. I'm keen to hear your views.
