Broken Britain - Martin Powell

After hearing reports of a "Broken Britain" repeatedly in the media I was inspired to write this political poem.

Broken Britain has now been put to music and will soon be available on iTunes! You can preview the track exclusively on www.reverbnation.com/spokenwordnerd

I did :)

You sound like you'd be right at home voting for the BNP. Even though you didn't write this yourself, I find you offensive and opinionated.

[spokenwordnerd]

I dont normally reply to such ignorance but the BNP is everything I stand against.

This is just meant to be a poem about teenage pregnancey, gang culture and binge drinking which are major issues for our country right now. I love this country and I love all people and just want a better world for everybody.

@captainsurrey You Captainsurrey sound like your not living in Reality. I find you idiotic and shy of reality. Never mind - next time you have a group of yobs causing trouble outside your spring cottage - don't cry to us.

Well said my friend !

Hey, I saw you at the Blast Beat Charity gig in Putney, I still think this poem is awesome. and does hit the nail on the head verry much so. and i couldn't help read Captainsurrey's comment, how ignorent can people be to not look deeper into someones motives behind issuses being raised in this poem. i think the poem is in your face and is so real it can sort of be seen as obscene but i think people see this poem as agressive because you're reading it in a mannorism that mirrors england today

Yo Gex. Rather enjoyed it, good work. what made you wanna do this?

[CherryBlossom4You]

awesome!

stop smoking...btw

[tammy713910]

fantastic poem, agree with everything you have said in it, captainsurrey seems to have been misguided by this poem thinking you were a racist and a bigot, to be fair to you though this is how half of the adult population feels at present, lets hope mr cameron can do a better job but i'm not holding my breath.

[popabubbleable]
