Dear DC........

[Ozzygirl64]

Dear Mr Cameron, just what is going through your mind

Fibro is a disability, I am most certain you're not blind

Your government does recognise it is disabling and potential

But I put it to you bluntly Sir, you're far too influential.

You say there is a deficit and you need to put it right

So you target us and many more and make us have to fight

It's not just things like Fibro that fails to make the grade

But those who learn they're dying, they too put on parade.

Some of us will win your game, some are not so lucky

Your plans are rubbish to the end, and yes they're even mucky

So we fill in forms and we believe all things will just be fine

But then we're sent for medicals to make us toe the line.

You use the fact that we will fill them in to prove that we can write

You choose to say we're problem free as we write into the night

We travel to the medical and then you use that against us too

You say that we can travel well when it leaves us feeling blue.

Fibro is a nasty guest and we always try to keep it calm

But you step in and make it worse not even with a qualm

Do you really care about the things we all have to do

To show that we are disabled and then have to prove it all to you.

You put us through the ringer, then put us through the mill

Will there ever be a time when you have had your fill

And will you ever realise that all you do is wrong

And now you have the DWP singing to your song.

So I think it would be very nice if you took the time to care

And come out in support of us and Fibro, if you really dare

The time is going to come when you know you have done wrong

When you're kicked from off your mighty seat, and that won't be too long.

I guess that we don't matter with you and all your power

But what you're doing will result in a newer leaning tower

And one day it will fall, send you crashing to the ground

And I for one will watch you fall and not utter any sound.

For when it comes and you are out us Fibromites will cheer

And we will know you did your all to make us disappear

For all of us with ill health and not just what we have

We won't be shamed no more, you will be the chav.

Yes that's what we get called by many because we claim our money

I,m sure if we could work out there we too would live on milk and honey

So dear Mr Cameron, have you really got your head screwed on right

Because I think all of your policies are a total load of s***e.

thats so good and so true well donexx

Sorry about that one hun. I have been on my high horse all day about me losing my tribunal. Most days I do not worry about it, but today I thought about it and thought about other more serioulsy ill people going through it too. Thinking about people with cancer put my plight into perspective and hence a new poem. SOmetimes it is the only way I can calm my anger xxxxxx

Don't be sorry at all Ozzy, you have voiced the opinions of many with that brilliant offering! I couldn't have put it better myself! The Government are blind indeed and the welfare system is appalling and unfair. Changes need to be made now to hear our voices in the wilderness. People are struggling out there and put through a process they are not well enough for. We shouldn't have to prove ourselves to the degree we have to with the present system, whatever happened to our Human Rights?! Everyone seems to go on about this these days and yet Fibromites don't seem to have any Human Rights or so it appears to me.

This is an ode/poem about Fibro Ozzy, so don't worry about other illnesses which are another subject matter. You can perhaps write a poem about those one day. We are reading this one understanding it's only about Fibro, it's fine.

Well done Ozzy! Ozzy for Prime Minister! She gets my vote!

[Ozzygirl64 in reply to Hidden]

Yeah I think the point I was making about other more serious illnesses is that if they have no chance with this government what chances do some of us have xxxxx

[hamble99b]

brilliant!

respect,

sandra.

[Ozzygirl64 in reply to hamble99b]

I would take a bow lol, but I do not have the energy or the inclination. But then again the way my day has gone I would most likely fall flat on my face xxxxx

[wallflower_fairy]

Haha. That's brilliant!

So to the point. Completely summed up my feelings.

Round of applause (for people who don't feel in too much pain, otherwise just smile and nod) xx

[Ozzygirl64 in reply to wallflower_fairy]

I had to laugh at just smile and nod, I cannot nod today lol xxxxxx

[FionaP]

Oh please send it to him!

There is a case lodged against this Government on human rights abuse. I think it is through Black Triangle. I get so many messages from Disability Rights and support that I have become overwhelmed with what from who.

In a meeting I went to Thursday it was reported that 37 people per week are dying directly because of these new policies. Then there was a report on Saturday saying it was more like 70+.Maybe once he's culled our numbers enough he will stop the bullying

Keep up your posts. God bless. Fi xx

[Ozzygirl64 in reply to FionaP]

I keep hearing about people dying with all these goings on xxxxx

[hugosmum70]

I practically live on FB... when i have bad days and can't get out is nice to have friends to chat to. And an awful lot of my friends have FM too. In fact I got the link for this group from FB

[Ozzygirl64 in reply to eranox]
