Sense Sonnet - Steamer

Spend Friend

Spend more to solve the spending spree,
And do it on the future's dime.
That's the way of powers that be,
In order to buy them some time.
The future, the kids, know it's dumb
To throw gasoline on a fire,
Expecting to save the place from
Burning down. It just gets more dire.
Throwing more spending on the mess
Is the easy thing to do now,
Leaving future pain and distress
For the future to solve somehow.

Powers that be do dumb because
It's dull being powers that was.
