The very cynical view of the t.v stations on the handling of the London bombings. Human beings are dieing and we are more concerned with showing the feckin footsie results right over the pictures of carnage and horror !
Has It All Come To This?
I've been knocked for six I can't get to work
All roads are shut, we're on full alert
The tube is in turmoil as are the streets
As medics and police cover bodies with sheets
The scene is of carnage, on innocent folk
As commuters leave stations choking with smoke
What this I see are they having a laugh?
They flash up the markets
We're down by a half
Soot covered people are hyper with angst
While men look for women
Who we're lost in the bangs
I see it, but really is all of this true?
The dow jones and footsie
Have just come in view
People are dieing out there on the street
They flash up the markets
How dare they, the creeps!
How many explosions, how many are dead?
Who were the culprits, by whom are they led?
How are we coping with all this abuse
Just flash up the markets
Before all the news !
The death toll is mounting
We can't tell you yet
How bad it has been
How much worse it will get
Poignant pictures come oh so quick
Then they flash up the footsie
It makes me feel sick !
Life is so cheap
Has it all come to this?
As an outrage in carnage
Where many more will perish
What can I tell you
What can I say?
Flash up the markets
To make it all go away !
Our value's have changed
We all are so driven
By possesion obsession
And all that we're given
Life that was precious is now in the way
Of the footsie and dow jones
Tell me, what do they say?
I'm a Londoner who is still in shock from whats gone on in the last week, but this tops the lot, as our city is echoing to the sound of sirens and smoke billowing out all around, on to our t.v screens comes a cheery voice to tell us about the markets and how this, the carnage is affecting them? have we really lost the feckin plot or what? People are dieing for Christs-sake and we're more concerned with a point on the feckin markets??? The t.v company should be bought to task and hauled over the coals alongside the hotels who doubled and trebled their room rates to Londoners who couldn't get home cos of the public transport shutdown. Name and feckin shame the money grabbing bastards!
Big shout goes out to all the boys and girls on the building site oposite UCH hospital who to a man and a woman were on the spot right away giving blood donations! Glad to see we stil have some caring human beings about instead of feckin parasites! Big Up to all of yer!
peace
