Here's a look back in time - at an old school acquaintance of mine in Swansea - Spencer Davis.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFaT69CyyKU

Back then, the 'GIMME' demand was just for "some luvin'"; now it's for more material things. How and when did we (society) get to this point?

How about this for a poem for WCE 2012 - titled 'Gimme'  ?

You bastard! You're the envy of my eye,

You applied yourself better than I.

You took a student loan;

You studied subjects with functionality;

You got a better-paying job;

You repaid your student debt.

You invested your hard-won earnings;

You abided by established tax laws;

You knew some helped - and knew some hurt

You profited from your wise investments;

You studied your desire against your ability;

You carefully read mortgage agreements;

You made your repayments on time.

You voted in each past election;

You helped displace some of the bums.

You know there are still many more! 

You will work to 'right' broken sytems;

You will help get the message out;

You know the power of polling booths -

You know that's the right place to shout!

You never once claimed 'I'm entitled';

You worked hard to get what you have;

You even gave aid to the poor.

You didn't ask debts be forgiven;

You didn't demand my stuff be yours.

You bastard! More like you, I wish I would be;

You didn't just camp, shouting 'GIMME'
