Newsflash!!!
I have finished the last poem I was working on yesterday – So if you read the nor very good version – then read the new ‘not very good but hopefully marginally better version’ now called “The Lottery Economy”.

Now that I’m here I may as well chat about it. We all know that when the lottery gets a big jackpot, people all line up at the lottery agents – well maybe that’s a thing of the past nowadays but I think that still happens.
For a long time now – when I see the lines I get a twinged in my heart – for it’s like it is an allegory of our modern economy driven lives – people suspending their disbelief in the reality of the tiny odds-on offer for a successful outcome. .. .so it’s just like “The economy” – i.e. jobs careers, moving to the city to improve your life, working your ass off & burning yourself out in the hope it will truly get you somewhere.
Yes it might work for some, but I think for many a decade now that is a losing strategy, person for person.
The odds don’t add up.
I hope the Poem “The Lottery Economy” sums that up properly when you read it.
in my opinion that Beast we call & bow down too, “The Economy” hasn’t worked for a long time, if ever.
We have mega cartel Corporates sucking the time & energy of Humans beings under the guise of “Good Jobs”.
I’m not against Jobs, I’m against Cartels masquerading as “Employers”.
With this becoming the norm, there is only ever going to be one winner in 100, tops.
Many small & medium players, is what works well for the most people.
I’m sure all the bad guys running the Cartel Scam called “The Modern Economy” know this inherently.
The outcome is their aim.
The mistake too many people make is thinking this isn’t the case.
The good news is we can still save things by supporting small & medium companies.
That’s why the beer I’m drinking now tastes good, is at a fair price, & is probably also good place to work.
