Sleeping Well

Boldly I exhume exclusion, a badge of sacrifice Milestones shunned, money’s usual manoeuvre Cultural flimsy stronghold, servant’s fiscal price Top tier requires slaves toil all day for approval Nonetheless, pleasingly, I hail our lucky country Offers safety, anonymity, hovel unacknowledged No need to solidify alliances, desperately hungry Primed pilferers for immediate advantage pillage Supplementing streetscapes bolster unsold soles Trove tumbledryer drums cook my new costume Accesses babyboomer tower, to fire escape stole Secure deep sleep from moonless cement room Adverse to version of us who refuse to assimilate A new season - Winter Begins today
