Another announcement that the energy cap for UK citizens is due to rise. I'm pretty sure that the excuse will be that the cost of buying gas has been increased by our suppliers. I always thought that a cap was supposed to stop unfavourable rises. I'm also pretty sure that the CEOs' bonuses and salaries will not be capped. It would be wonderful if they would refuse their extra salaries and share dividends to help protect the customers. (Just me being naive.)
Too
Many Ivory Towers
CEOs
of water, fuel and power,
climb
down from your glittering, ivory tower,
consider
those who are less fortunate,
those
who you often manipulate.
Academies
and Trusts Chair,
is
what you’re paid truly fair,
when
so many people you employ,
need
benefits to bring life a modicum of joy.
When
asked about your ill-gotten gain,
blaming
a committee for what you obtain,
meekly
accepting such gross largess,
as
a right to your opulent ivory address.
Backed
by sycophantic politicians,
circling
for crumbs to further ambition,
is
there a conscience about all that power,
providing
your exclusive ivory tower.
