Debenhams Staff Are On The Picket Line
Their Duty Of Care
Dismissed At
This Time
By Their Employers Abroad
In One Swift Act Have Pulled The Plug
Ending Their Livelihood
We Stand With Them In Solidarity
Keelings Are Flying People From Afar
“Skilled Horticulture Staff”To Pick Strawberries
Their Goods Are Being Boycotted
It Was A Step To Far
Our Dole Lines Are
Virtually Round The Block
So Many People Are Still Reeling From The Shock
For Employment That’s Lost And May Never Come Back
We Look To Our Government
To Take Up The Slack
To Answer Our Call
As Never Before
As We Wait With Questions And For Answers
Behind Our Front Door.
