Budget Event Horizon
The vast
black hole into which the nation’s
Wealth is
being irresistibly drawn
Is unstable
capitalism, grown
Through ever
expanding depredations
Until it has
consumed the entire world.
The gravity
of its profit hunger
Is such,
well-meaning policies no longer
Escape
oblivion. Intentions hurled
Into its maw
are destined to never
Be seen
again. The exchequer must yield,
For the red
box proves a pathetic shield:
Fiscal
escape is a doomed endeavour.
All promises
the chancellor made are hushed,
Fond hopes
for change relentlessly crushed.
D. A.
