Meals on Wheels
costs about $7 a day
& an administration
that would deprive its
elderly, home-bound
& perhaps blind citizens
of simple sustenance
because they say “there’s
no proven results” or
a “waste of your money”
has to my mind lost
all sense of basic moral
decency & deserves
no less than our complete
scorn & utter contempt.

Can I say it any louder!

& a president who can
sit down to his steak
dinner with prawn hors
d'oeuvres having signed
off on such a callous &
inhumane proposal while
mentally ticking off the
money he's put in the bank
today should be removed
from office by any means
necessary & ideally
today.

Can I say it any clearer!
