I am almost exhausted of things to say about Grenfell, the Cladding Scandal, the Fire Safety Scandal etc. The tragedy was avoidable, it should never have happened. People should not be still living in Roman Candle style buildings clad in flammable material.
All I can do as an artist, is use words. Here is a poem I wrote. I just wish I could do more.
The Roman
Candle (#Endourfiresafetyscandal)
On the 14th
of June we heard the news
that
Grenfell had gone up in smoke
72 died,
hundreds were homeless and
The system
of justice is broke
Living in a
Roman Candle
Time to end the
Cladding Scandal
Living in a
Roman Candle
It proves
that the system is broke
Time to end the
cladding scandal
We don’t
want a Roman candle
Time to end the
cladding Scandal
People need safe
homes
--
I hereby Authorise this poem for free usage by anyone associated with the Justice for Grenfell campaign and the #Endthe claddingscandal campaign
