Elected Neglected
If you come in 'like a wrecking ball'
in your bare essentials,
you must expect
the shrapnel to cut deeper
than the skin,
lest you hide behind 'the party line'.
Politically speaking
if now we are being softened up
for the deep and gruesome cuts
in the budget to come,
then who will save us
when 'our beds are burning'.
