Money flows into coffers, kept safe and warm
while a man representing the poor, homeless and cold
given the crusts from a food bank in 21st century Britain
finds shelter beneath a bridge, from rain and wind.
High jinx champagne parties, big cigars and flash cars
a townhouse, country retreat, kept spotless by the below minimum waged, immigrant, a man fleeing penury, a wife and children count on his honest, dishonest meagre pay, and all the time he gets nowhere.
New suits, shiny shoes, a private education for all the brood, holidays in the Sun, a boat beyond belief moored in paradise and all the cash you can hold, and more ,flowing into your offshore bank accounts,
while your servant polishes the silverware, last job before he goes, and beds down beneath the bridge at the end of the road.
