Enough

Published by under Poetry

Enough
two dollars eighty
that’s enough
for a toilet roll and a small milk
is it?
enough for my four kids
the woman in red
says she got the unemployment down the furthest than any of the others when she was in
yet she got no one jobs
now,……how did she do that?
I tell you how
make the people wait
make the people hungry like America
Recession? Ha
Pre planned and executed to the minute
And all the foremothers and
I gotta whore my arse to my man
like some Remuera prostitute masquerading as a kept woman
though I only get milk and toilet paper not diamonds and champagne
though I know I’ve got something more
something the people can value one day
not this
not sitting, wondering whether its bread or milk we’re gonna have today
so,…..fuck the excuses
I ran out of milk
