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.
