The Web Poetry Corner - Plo - Public Debt

Public Debt

by

Plo


One of these civil servants was once a fan of new wave bands,
He still wears the overcoat from eighties, but, sedentary, multiplies grey hair over a fool-scap.
Post-student's mentality. Puts on a good face to a bad business. Is not lucky.
Experience and authority scoff at him.

The second one was once a fan of soviet revolutionary novels.
Pavka Kortchagin was his sentimental hero. Converted
He still exterminates the Evil zealously!
Fighting with symptoms of the health.
Practically.

Their chief is very rich. Likes public money; has taken a liking for exploitation.
Does not think of tribunals. Why?
Because he thinks he's a superguy.
His contract of work - carefree in public, budgetary firm - bares legislator's unconcern.
Still.

Generous Legislature! Think of your employers.
Multiply legal contracts of sly lawyers.
Let them prove in front of tribunals
There's no superguys. Only public debtors.
Rich victims of future supertaxcollectors.
