Root Canal Injustice
Like root canal
without anaesthesia
they drill down to the bone,
and once they’ve sucked your marrow
you can say goodbye to life,
and even when there’s nothing left
they keep coming back for more,
their vacant eyes see nothing of
the pain they leave behind,
they seem so puzzled when
complaints are made or
crying fills the air,
just as Eichmann liked to say,
“there’s orders”
so follow them they do,
and even though you’re innocent
they’ll make a criminal of you,
they’ll lie about your welfare debt
and shaft you when you rise,
their road has long diverged
and the map no longer counts,
their compass has no morals now,
and, though you owe them nothing,
they want a thousand bucks.

Cuts right to the core. Sadly, true.

A total disgrace, and to think the admins blindly and blithely just followed through with it.

Yes, govt is playing dirty and being open about it, couldn’t care less. Very chilling. Thank you for your reflection on this.

It is, even writing it was hard, but it is the reality here, the underbelly of our beautiful laid-back life is ugly.

It is indeed ugly, but it’s important to be reminded of it so as not to become complacent and smug.
