The grandchildren of the caretaker

 Inside the lolly bag of society
sticky and sugary
distribution of presents is tradition
so many needy children

A happy garage where families met
expecting to recieve presents
Like greedy gods waiting at shrines
for whatever the pleb masses would provide

candy sight
austerity wants reward
cries efeminately
shower curtains

so many children
each wants an ounce of attention
they become an audience
clapping hands and wooing

I arrived with just enough presents for the kids
The old caretaker of a man was given nothing
as if watching their faces was enough
But I returned to the market to buy more

The caretaker pretended not to care
yet when presented he was given a few more years to live
