STANZA IV
One thing's to find fourteen-storey toilet waste
Stealthily creep up your ground-floor shower drain
Another's to watch the migrant surgeon paste
Some part of your body he cuts up - in vain
Yet another: watch nurses scowl in pleasure
As they stuff some part of you with germs for sure
Unaware that some medicine or remedy
Can do you more harm than climate tragedy
Know not which doctor keeps Hippocrate sermon
Nor which in patriot secret society
The State always fears for its reputation
ENVOI
No place in such a State for chicken curry
The secret service thrives on Poulet roti
If wisdom tooth hurts guess who drills canine down
If glasses need changing better change body
The State always fears for its reputation
