Midweek Review
Breaking Trade Barriers
By Lynn Ockersz
The candidates on a winning streak,
Having decided to stop at nothing,
Are pledging lamb-like followers,
All that could delight their hearts,
Including eye-popping pay rises,
Daily goods at slashed prices,
Fat proceeds from the sale,
Of all that’s left of the Family Silver,
And numerous creature comforts,
Savagely smothering in the process,
The Voice within them that says;
‘You are cruelly deceiving your people,
For what may be a Mess of Pottage.’
