Does It Bother You?

So do you feel self-satisfied, full of content?
Was that huge shopping bill money well spent?
Did you ignore the advice, warnings to heed?
Does it bother you, the results of your greed?
...
Now that your cupboards are full to the brim.
Do you feel a little smug a warm feeling within?
Well how about those now left short or without?
Because the vulnerable will suffer most no doubt.

Or the night worker with morning basket in hand.
Who face near empty shelves in this selfish land.
We’re in this together, but you wouldn’t think so.
Think of others, what you do, or wherever you go.
