the costs and the causes


The man sits on the bench
Under the setting sun
Clutching his pay envelope
He counts the costs to pay

The spiraling costs jump
It eats into his paycheck
Every item the people need
It reduces his disposal income

He sits on the bench
Looking at the poor management
Of the country's resources
Besetting the country in economic spiral

How to survive?
After paying the costs
He has to eat chilli and salted fish
This is as much as he could provide

Saving for raining days
He can't even think about it
Now the dim light shines
He gets up ready to face his family
