#2,398 This State We Are In

Missiles [jabs & quids
for our cash-in lads] –
all that our geopolitic
ways’ll pray for –
build
back better –
a refrain
& feed for an avid kid
& don’t expect ‘em to
care ‘bout wages –
As
horror plots unfold [&
death greets winter’s
breath at home] espy
fat MPs in suits – hear
complaints about sex
& backhanders –
such state we’ll live in
