PROGRESS.
Money walked in
with promises.
Built factories,
handed out,
among other problems,
silicosis, pneumoconiosis, asbestosis.
Due to progress
plans changed.
New promises emerged.
Nuclear reactors arrived
spraying people with radiation.
When the switches were thrown
and the lights came on
the suits,
(living far away from reactors)
smiled with pride.
Meanwhile doctors
treating leukaemia, tumours, cancer,
tightened their own straight-jackets
as the Health Service
went bankrupt.
