Immigrants or Allotments

Remove the migrants, the waitstaff and farmers; kick out the gardeners, nannies, and maids. What do you get?


Are you going to do it: grub around in dirt all day, dirty faces, nappies, and houses?

Who is going to clean your resorts, mow your golf course, work your slaughterhouses? You? Your children? Your unemployed, needy retirees?

Or should the low-wage grunt work be passed along to veterans, with no benefit K. P. duty for life, cleaning up after and feeding their lessers and taking orders from bone-spurred millionaires who have never had a non-golf-related callous or injury in their lives?


Are the hiring class going to create jobs for us lesser souls doing the work of serfs, slave labour and wages, taxed their employer’s share and eating the leftovers off their plates or arrested for dumpster-diving?


Are we to eat only what we can plant in rented allotments, unwatered by rain, drowned in floods, burnt by flame or run-off, and unpollinated due to climate change and dead bees? Or do we beg for crumbs from the master race and pray for global annihilation to succeed in wiping humanity out?
