In Lieu of wise words from Sue Gray!

It isn’t just the cheese and wine 

 It isn’t just the lies. 

It’s the way our human labours 

are sold off before our eyes. 

 

 It’s the way your layers of privilege,

So wrapped around your soul,

Mean you just can’t feel the pain you cause 

When you wield power without control. 

 

It’s the way you celebrate your crimes,

The way you know you’ll never pay 

It isn’t just about a cake 

It isn’t just one day. 

 

 It’s the stealthy and insidious, 

The bold as brass charade, 

It’s the way you celebrate your wins 

At cost of others, every day.
