When did it begin ?
The death of our way of living
The alien buildings,
So unforgiving
It was the enemy within
When did it begin ?
The death of our high streets
Now empty arcades
Where we used to meet
Before the enemy within
When did it begin ?
The death of our factories
Nowhere to be seen
Consigned to history
By the enemy within
When did it begin ?
The lottery on healthcare
Bugs and super bugs
Finally the cupboards bare
Taken by the enemy within
When will it end ?
It’s too late to stop it
The end has come and gone
But no one noticed
They were looking
the other way and didn’t notice
The enemy within.

(c) yes Robert jnr, all my own work. But I wrote it in 2012, and it seems soo relevant today
