Autoplay

A person on the dole wasting it on ice.
A person on wages wasting the house deposit on outsourced smashed
avocado.
The latter unable to buy a house;
the former to buy food.
What's a fair nanny to do,
who wants to stop one's waste,
but stop the waste of the other too.

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

Rajnish Manga 16 June 2017

People often misuse the subsidies and doles and make a mockery of govt funding in social benefit schemes. Time to purge the system. Thanks a lot, Douglas.
