TARIFFS GROW UP
“Health is wealth,” so they say, a lure
To dig deep in our pockets for the cure.
Yes, health is wealth, of that we’re sure.
The standard of living makes its leap,
And every tariff climbs so steep.
But does the salary earner’s pay,
Keep pace within this burning day?
They grant us 9% to stay…
Hypocrites who rule our land,
With democracy in hand,
Hold the masses in contempt.
Tell me, who will charge them with contempt?
Talk of water, talk of light,
Talk of fuel, a constant blight.
Yet they swear inflation cools, it dips to single digits…
Mr Man, do you feel it in your bones?
We are living in the gulf between the graph and all its groans.
