Poetic Isolated Woes...

Life...
It cannot be,
Dictated by contracts,
Because external sources,
Build them to make profit...
Not actually to support,
So in the end we're all,
Attempting to appease,
A dying economy,
Which we bail,
We bail out,
So we...
We're,
The hope,
The fall back,
Their insurance,
Not the contracted way,
Not that way round...
Not one bit at all,
It's quite sad...
Sad to see...
No help,
But us,
In our,
Time,
Of,
Need!

New background for the poetic blog, which no one ever read... A pic from a local shop on Great Western Road, Glasgow! What a bit of merchandising eh?!?

What if, we, the minute wee people... Actually had support, from our government... NHS to wee guy on the corner, most dire, to the nan in the nursery... If we had universal basic income of any variety, would some of us wee folk, go support others more? Knowing we have something to stand on?!? For many who have been saked, laid off and not furloughed or even just told to get stuffed and lost...

For those with mental ill-health, any such and beyond situation is beyond the realms of my most darkest fathomable depression during my mental illness...

If we also, each of us, above the age of 18 (family's as a unit!) had a basic income, would we not share to support one another as we could and abso-FUCKING-LUTELY would...

But we are the un-contracted contingency. We're the insurance we never asked to be. Who asked us for our money to bail whomever the FUCK out? No one, no one asked our permission to support 'those big business (who may or may not even pay tax in the UK)' but we have to scrape and pitch for every scheme. Most not even live yet...

Yet we're down to our very last pennies and pence... Where is our support, government be fucked. Scotland, give us what what London will not... Stretch our arms to the North of England and where we may as well, Ireland, Wales... Who stops our arms from stretching... It is London... So stretch beyond your own, but just not today, because today...

Today we have to isolate to save one another. ANY fucktard government help today, tomorrow or naught. vX #hope
