Robo debt
Money swirls around and around,
Snatch it.
Get what you can.
Don't count the cost?
What was given,
Cruelly repaid.
Stress the innocent,
Take back from the poor.
It was a bad policy....
Now we want more!
Revenge for something
Is nothing new.
But to sue your government
Seems a dumb thing to do?
The irony as I see it
You may not agree
They don't think government money belongs to me.
The money for plaintiffs will only be crumbs..
The real money goes to all of the chums..
Lawyers, judges, all of their host, their the ones who get the most.
Tax payers can't pay the bill..
Ultimately a bitter pill.
Time to work for the better good, or we'll end up bankrupt.
They said we would.
