Advancement! <br />That’s a bloody laugh. <br />Give me back <br />the old days…. <br /> <br />better by half. <br /> <br />Only one phone call, <br />number straight <br />through, direct. <br />No options one to ten…. <br /> <br />and then again to select. <br /> <br />Bills for commodities, <br />forwarded in estimation. <br />I don’t owe that much…. <br /> <br />is my calculation. <br /> <br />Pay a fortune for water <br />that falls on MY roof. <br />Dentist charges three figures…. <br /> <br />for pulling one tooth. <br /> <br />Red letters, followed by <br />a courtesy call, <br />just to make sure…. <br /> <br />we’ve not moved to Bengal. <br /> <br />Customer services really <br />hate our very guts, <br />but politely inform us …. <br /> <br />of life saving cuts. <br /> <br />Buy one, get twenty free, <br />they soon may say, <br />as they package poison… <br /> <br />day by day. <br /> <br />No wonder it costs <br />so very little, <br />full of the inedible…. <br /> <br />the devils vittles.. <br /> <br />Advancement! <br />That’s a bloody joke, <br />our youth living on…. <br /> <br />Breezers and Coke. <br /> <br />Yes chaos rules this so called <br />modern day era. <br />You think it’s all cheap…. <br /> <br />but in fact, life’s dearer.<br /><br />Ian Bowen<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/advancement/
