Before the Riots

There is much to be done
Sufficient work for everyone
But first to rebuild the spirit
Energise; engage with all

Some to work with hedgerows
Some to work with books
Work together in towns and cities
Working alone with claws and hooks

Everyone to find their own self
Yet encompass communal pride
Everyone in congregation
With time for their solitary side

Some to work in organisation
Some to simply do
Good to work becomes the ethic
Also to grow and prosper too

Strive towards the good life
Quality to be indigenously bound
Everywhere then aimed at pleasure
Fresh life for sights and sounds

Some to bring on excellence
Some to support and aid
Work of a thousand varieties
With reward truly and fairly paid

The deluded ramblings of a working class Yorkshireman who believes attention to detail and commitment to aesthetic beauty would solve our countries lot
