259: SNAP
Is this what went on before the Red King
killed millions via the Holodomor?
When policy and kissing-of-the-ring
swept up the paltry lives of all the poor?
Yes, do be rid of us, us nagging pests,
we weakling litters spread across your land.
Our need for food, your opulence protests—
why should our wants not be, by shutdown, banned?
Let friends of foes of foreigners eat cake!
The ballroom must be filled by idle men!
While those who do the work we will forsake,
for that is how it’s always, always been.
Why fund something like SNAP when you can’t choose
whose policies to add or to abuse?
