It's One Month Before Heartbreak

Dear Readers

This is my contribution to One Month Before Heartbreak, the Broken of Britain Blogswarm that starts today and ends on Sunday. It’s an original poem that I wrote recently. I hope you enjoy it.

It’s One Month Before Heartbreak

It’s one month before heartbreak

Our DLA they’re going to take

It’s only £100 a week, for goodness’ sake!

Where would we be without DLA?

For cars and care, unable to pay

Some trapped inside four walls all day.

They say they’ll replace it with PIP

(Personal Independence Payment)

But, we ask, what if we slip?

Or, even worse, what if we trip?

They say DLA will change its name

Not for love, marriage or any such game

But because we get the blame

But we didn’t make the mess, we say

Please don’t break our hearts this Valentine’s Day

Please let us keep our precious DLA!
