Whatever the outcome our income remains the same,
there's a glitch but it's not in the matrix
that phrase was put there to trick you.

prices go up
rent goes up
utilities go up
everything goes up
except for your standard of living
that stay the same and
wages going up remain in real terms the same
and that only fools you into thinking that you're flying high
when in reality you're slowly sinking.

It's not all bad news
we're not poor as in poverty-stricken
we can put bread on the table
margarine and jam
and for that I am
grateful
