HEATING OR EATING GREED AND PROFIT

Heating or eating that's the choice ,

Many will face this coming winter ,

A hot meal , or warm room ,

Theirs the rub many will face this winter ,

The already sick and termly ill ,

The pore , those already in poverty ,

Profits rise , temperature drops , ice forms ,

On the inner panes , pipes frieze , burst ,

Elderly die , for the need of heat , a hot meal ,

Profits rise , shareholders , bask in the sun ,

While people die frozen to death ,

Such is life and death in the U K
