Pain

They stand on stage and sing

Claiming adulation as they dance

Not for themselves

They’re millionaires:-

They want “us” to give to the suffering.

They stand there in Parliament

Arguing like children just to score points

All for themselves

They need votes:-

“Compassionate” aid is sent.

They go around the streets preaching

Like a competition to convert the most

All for themselves

They want to get to Heaven:-

A hungry babe is screaming!

17^th May 1991, West Ealing, London, England.
