Tighten our belts

That’s what we’re sold,

The poor must pay

This story has been told,

So many times over again,

The lowest income earners

Must top the economy up,

And what of those who thrived

Through the pandemic times,

The rich and wealthy always seem

The duck between the lines,

And avoid their responsibility

To taken on some of the burden,

But when the rich and wealthy

Form the basis of government,

It’s no suprise they will not place

Those burdens upon themselves,

But this is the time when this should change

So that the poor do feel the pain,

Or have to suffer the strain.
