Utterly Ridiculous

So you are awfully proud
of this new "development"
where in each flat
your chair vibrates
your dry cleaning is delivered
your arse wiped
with triple soft silk laden
toilet paper
oh what a lifestyle
at these riverside apartments!

So have you considered
why she
who works with the
sex workers, the addicts,
the homeless
and is alone
still has to wipe
her own arse,
pick up her own laundry
from the communal machine
and walk to work
if her pay is delayed?

Blow the fuse
stop the computers
all those IT
and marketing dudes
redundant
someone will still need
to wash the infirm
feed the starving
and rescue the children

Amazing development?
How ridiculous.
