Greed Bleeds the Needy 




Greed Bleeds the Needy 


 
 
The senate agreed

to ignore the people’s needs 

“Let them grovel on their knees 

for the left-over hog seeds” 

then trust us indeed 

to deliver more feed 

from next year’s crop of duckweed 

after a new seed tax is decreed

not to be misread as more greed

the deed is government-guaranteed!

G'day, and welcome to my blog site. My name is Ivor Steven, I live in Geelong, Australia. I'm an ex-industrial chemist, and a retired plumber, and a former Carer of my wife(Carole), for 30 years, who suffered from severe MS. I Write poetry about those personal thoughts, throughout and beyond my life as a Carer. I've been blogging for over 2 years, and writing poems for 19 years. Of course a lot of my poems are about my favourite subject Carole, but since I've been blogging my writings have become quite varied, humourous, mystical, observational, and even a few monster/horror poems.

  2. Wowza! Brilliant, heart-touching words-quotes of wisdom from you, Ivor! Thank you for sharing these. 🙂 The first is how I feel…how I’ve lived my life. 🙂
    And your poem is so powerful and timely. And a perfect pairing to THAT song. Listening to it, while reading your poem…tears came to my eyes.
    (((HUGS))) ❤️❤️❤️
    PS…Coop says “Woof Woof ❤️” to Sir Frankie!!! 🙂
