By Joy Johnson<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For ten years they starved us<\/p>\n\n\n\n

cut doctors and nurses who treated us<\/p>\n\n\n\n

devalued social workers who cared for us<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

bosses mocked and taunted us<\/p>\n\n\n\n

you work with us not for us<\/p>\n\n\n\n

employment became bogus <\/p>\n\n\n\n

secure jobs became precarious<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

cyclists modern day pack horses<\/p>\n\n\n\n

eight hours to zero they texted us<\/p>\n\n\n\n

we were made to feel worthless<\/p>\n\n\n\n

for ten years we\u2019ve had austerity<\/p>\n\n\n\n

pushing us into poverty <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

China became our factory<\/p>\n\n\n\n

enough we know the value of unity<\/p>\n\n\n\n

shelf stackers, truck drivers are key<\/p>\n\n\n\n

cleaners, medics needed in this emergency<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take back our identity<\/p>\n\n\n\n

see through their mendacity<\/p>\n\n\n\n

comrades express solidarity<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And stand with humanity<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n
