Pensioners Plight

Pensioners Plight Years working outside in the rough While it was good it was also tough Battling the elements day after day No work today rain will have its way Retirement age announced I’m here Tools down there’s nothing to fear Fifty years the end of a bumpy ride Intense question how now provide Hairline receded teeth not your own No movement without an audible moan Ailments unexpectedly urgently appear Acute pain discomfort sometimes a tear Finally so dependent on a social grant Much more needed they say they can’t State officials take millions in cash and kind Pensioners grant would sadly blow your mind Learn to survive on the barest minimum a day Who wrote the manual in this revolting way How end this deplorable wretched fight This travesty of justice this pensioners plight
