What's Up?

What’s Up?

We have pay raises on the top
We have pay cuts on the bottom
I know we’re not in Denmark
But something, still smells sort of rotten

The lower paid city workers
Quite often receive our praise
But only the top dogs
Will be getting, a healthy raise

And when they mention a furlough
I thought it meant some deserving R&R
But in today’s government language
It means your check, won’t go as far

I’d like to see more equity
For the city’s working class
Start cutting from the top
Then you’ll save some, real cash

I know my poem
May seem kind-of knee-jerk
But let’s be totally fair
For those who do the work
