The Disgruntled Elite
The Right before those Buggers
clapped me in wrist-irons
… I hurdled the counter
and yelled the word
… “Malcontent!”…
in a questioning manner,
over the Tannoy system
… and, over 20 people
in the Waiting Room…
raised their (Defiant) hands.
The ‘Truth’ is Adaptable,
a mere ‘Skirting-Lane’,
not a final Destination…
they’ll use your ‘Honesty’
against you… unless,
you ‘Outmanoeuvre’
their vile ‘Snakiness’
… with silent ‘Ladders’
to Stonewalled ‘Frustration’.
