A Political Fruit: A Political Solution! Poem by Terence George Craddock (Spectral Images and Images Of Light)

A yokel’s assessment
loft pigeon holing
key kiwi politics
for term year 2001.

Under Labouring Leadership
exhibited by Prime Minister.
Housewife mentality not
her honourable Helen Clark.


“I’m glad I’m a kiwi
in the land of the free(?)
I wish I was a dog
and Jenny Shipley was a tree! ”


That former National Leader
of the N.Z. Socialist Welfare State.
Effectively exterminated some of
the old the sick the maimed not retained.
The (destained) . Supposedly unemployable.
Through effective long hospital waiting lists.
Patients patiently dying in sickening turn.
Waiting for their turn lifetime tax paid for.

Grossly government underfunded operations.
Patients could not live long enough to have.
Contrast increasing youth adult suicide rates.
Highlights dispirited dispossessed chose to die.
Rather than live with unstomachable shame.
Shame for their families to deal with if had one.

National gave their last paid jobs away to
cheaper ill fated foreign third world workers.
To even more socially exploited workers.
In even more exploited less fortunate lands.

Ensuring aspiring elite rich may free trade
grossing ever more greed upon greed
sweat and misery maximized equating to
an advanced global industrial slavery.

As Neo-liberal policies bite ever harder.

“Full employment is necessary
for capitalism
to grow”; did you never realize!

Shrinking profit rates! Economic Solution?
Inspires corporate elite to revive
depression causing economic liberalism!

Definitions: 1. Rule Of The Market.
Main goal. Reduce wages eliminate
worker rights! Ignore Social Damage!
Lie to the plebeians. Tell these victims.

“An unregulated market will increase
economic growth benefit everyone! ”
Reagan sold as 'trickle-down' economics.
Wealth does not trickle down! It is taken!

2. Cut Social Services. Cut education!
Cut health care! Reduce safety-net for poor!
Reduce maintenance for roads bridges
water supply! Sell as reducing taxes needed!

3. Deregulation. Deregulate all impediment
to profits! No! Protecting the environment?
Safety on the job? Reduce maximize profit!

4. Privatization for Profit. State-owned sold!
Sell goods and services to private investors!
Sell banks! Sell key industries! Sell electricity!
Sell railroads! Sell toll highways! Sell schools!

Sell hospitals! Sell fresh water! Tell plebeians?
This is for greater efficiency which is needed!
Concentrate wealth among an elite few! Make
the public pay more for needed goods services!

5. Eliminate the concept of 'The Public Good'.
Rename everything with shiny new names to
destroy community concepts! Replace Unifying
Terms with slogan 'individual responsibility! '

Divide Conquer the to be exploited plebeian cows!
Milk them for all they have got! Pressure poorest
people in society! Make them accountable! Make
them find solutions to their own lack of health care!

Strip poor of good education good social security!
Blame plebeians who fail! Call them lazy! Divide!

Enjoy your promised promoted new world order.
“I’m glad I’m a kiwi in the land of the free”?
