Bloodsuckers
When a
befuddled minister of state
Announces
some novel fiscal measure,
Deep in the
shadows hunters of treasure
Measure their
wealth against the exchange rate.
As vampires
they’re always prepared to drain
A nation’s
life-blood in gruesome amounts
From innocent
folks’ vulnerable accounts,
Greedily
doing so again and again.
All new
ministers very quickly learn
To let such
foul dealings pass them by.
Then, on
leaving public life they’ll not die,
But, become
engorged vampires in their turn.
And so this
horror story will persist
Until folks
decide vampires shouldn’t exist.
D. A.
