37, FRUSTRATION People protesting everywhere, they are the ones who really care. Whatever has caused them to protest? They are not the reason for unrest. Thousands gathering in the squares, they are the ones who really care. There are Plumbers, Truck drivers, Factory workers too, only to name a few. Riots are not what we want to see. All we want is to be free. The Government has lost control. They have no interest helping us achieve our goals. We need shelter, a home to keep, somewhere safe for us to sleep. We deserve fresh food on our tables and clean water to drink. How far do they want us to sink? It is a battle for us every day with accumulating bills which are hard to pay. The cost of living is out of control. How does this help us achieve our goals? Finding a home to rent, not sleeping in a tent, it's no wonder people vent. Governments are elected by freedom of choice. The time has come, they must listen to our voice. We elect them in and we can elect them out. Elections are looming, seeking our votes they will come doorknocking no doubt The rest of the year they, are out on their boats. They will promise you this and promise you that. Even pretending to like your cat. Being a politician is'nt that tough. Do you ever see them living it rough?
