As social strata need to be maintained.

In England deference is required

As social strata need to be maintained.

And yet with rage my soul is fired.

For in poverty the sick are to be detained.

Who will be the woman of the year?

What crystal night glass will she need  to smash?

What ceiling may fall down and our hearts tear?

Shall we hurl ourselves into the trash?

And which prime minister will we applaud

For making us feel safe and sane next year?

As we haunt the January Sales ,Oh Lord,

Forgive us if our brother’s coat we tear.

Was God incarnate here upon the earth?

We heard a single mother gave him birth.
