Poverty
Poverty sneaks
through her wet garment
on the terrace
she talks to herself cursing
the day she was born and left
to negotiate truths
of gender, sex and adulthood
in the middle class
one-room apartment
physical rigmarole
buries sick delight
hope of wellness
fast and Sunday mass
sink into dusk
and darkness eats
into her silence
--R K Singh

Middle Class and High Class
strange these people
with elevator out of service face ...
they would like to climb higher
but they stand still. In life...
Strange heart, Concorde face
people who would like to ascend to heaven
but who never realized the true height... of life...!..!

A Basic Economic Reality
A basic cause of inflation is an economic reality
Which has little to do with prevailing political ideology,
Rather it is rooted in elementary consumerism
And stopping it depends on a proper methodology.
Demand for a specific commodity goes out of control
When there is far more demand than availability.
Simply, a shortage of supplies to meet the demands
The higher price

Discouraged
Hard to not be discouraged
When the world keeps getting in your face
Hard not to give up, give in
When you just can’t keep up the pace
More bad news
Another job lost
Just can’t keep up
With Rising costs
Not just me
It’s everyone I know
No one has answers
Or knows where to go
I want to make things simple
But my soul

Woke Or Woken
Woke or woken?
I am a middle-class player
So some politicians say
Not in so many words
But in their interesting way
You’ve heard it, haven’t you?
The ravings of some pure, enlightened and woke capital-city greeny
So our deputy ruler said
At least I am not brain dead I thought
Caught between reality and their world
Woke I guess to their untruths
Where disbelief governs
And

Post-Minimalist Portrait of a Lower Middle Class American--Digital Text On Computerized Canvas
tequila smells like nail polish
and then lemon put in it
tequila now smells like nail polish with lemon
and youre vulnerable to retching
because nail polish regardless of whether there is lemon in it or not
is dangerous because of fruity solvents
like toluene and butyl acetate and ethyl acetate
and plasticizers like dibutyl phthalate
and to be perfectly honest

Middle Class Dismissed
Marginalized middle finger people
moving upwardly mobile
on a quality-of-life escalator going always down
Mall pallbearers for the palladium pocketeers,
(them who bring forth weekly pocket tears)
Three-piece suit gator claws with Wall Street wolf ears
Kiss-the-ring finger people
trying to climb up the societal brass rung
Getting pyramid food chain hung —
Pink slip of the tongue
will make the money grubbers
perennial bottom

Messed Around With Middle Class
Messed Around With Middle Class
Trump truly seems to be a fat ass,
Messing around with middle class;
Hard to endure,
Know for sure;
We have started running out of gas.

Horror has happened day by day;
Destroy it there must be some way;
What we will do,
Does come true,
When God will be in words you say.

David Cameron and the Middle Class Lass
David Cameron and The Middle Class Lass
She was ‘ordinary’, ‘middle class’ a ‘one of us’ kind of lass
Or at least that’s how she was presented through the rose tinted glass
And the message that was there was hope for us all
That we too could go to the ball
And we watched and watched and waited and waited

Middleclass alcoholics
After a heart attack my life as seaman was over, so I went back to school
and trained to become a shrink helping people with addiction problems
and for this I got a diploma. My first job was in Norway, at a private clinic,
helping businessmen to confront their problem, it was an expensive place

The Pang of the Middle Class
You look down and see
There are lot of people with out proper meal
On the street beg children
Thousands of people without sanitation
And you take a pang
In your mind always moves a plan
How to develop
How to uplift them
And you live nearer to them,
Just above their rung
They look up
