a step taken in the right direction

Rich get Rich

Rich get rich
poor get poorer
call it "bottom line on top"
is too near the bone
nothing to do with Darwin

People who ...

People who live in public houses
with a glass in hand
often get stoned

when the cherry clusters swell and flowers open
as if the sun's afraid of the competition

There's a bit of a lie

There's a bit of a lie in every truth
and a bit of the other
turn about fair play
both deny neither, neither is both
even in the reason for what you imply
so don't be gormless, cook up a storm
and serve out rainy-day helpings
of humble pie

Buff-naked

Buff- naked we come
stuff-naked we go
unburdened of pelf
unburdened of ego

Behind ingrate

Behind ingrate mankind
stands in great kind, woman
