No Place to Die

This will not be a good
country to grow old in –
not whilst ministers [&
mandarins] aim to dip
shone silver spoons in

honeypots or as born-
to-entitlements nudge
them to superior ways
[no regard about what
is said] – Auld men lie

in Parliament to buy a
seat elsewhere [they’ll
live with less concerns
than us with one vote –
rigged every fifth year]
