Brian Evans from Swansea, with health issues many,

The Department for Work and Pensions says with pride,

Will he lose his car, and fall apart?

The reforms proposed, a £5bn goal to save,
But for Wales, it's a £466m wave,
Blaenau Gwent, Merthyr Tydfil, and Neath Port Talbot too,
Will feel the pinch, with a cut to pursue.

Sam Fathers says, "Don't panic, it's just a plan,"
But for Brian, it's a constant strain,

A difficult future, with no clear care.

The UK government's aim, to save a buck,
But for Wales, it's a risk, a welfare luck,
To return to work, a try before you buy,
But even then, the numbers won't apply.

Mick Antoniw says, "The messaging's wrong,"
A Labour government, to help people belong,
To work and to thrive, a driving force true,
But for now, the reforms, a worry to pursue.

The Department responds, with a promise to keep,
Protecting those who need, a social security to reap,
But for Brian and many more, the future's unsure,
A £466m cut, a worry to endure.
