Heat and health, not helter-skelter,
Not rushing around to party hard
Or relax in the sun on travel card.

Can’t eat construction, nor money immense
Though gives you the means to provide –
Those at food banks have nowhere to hide.

Donations to charity, won’t bring parity
Or provide for a future fixed with clarity.
Government funds to feed the skint
Needs be provided to prolong life’s stint.
