Hazardous Materials
There's a body in the white goods
Somewhere in the backwoods
Inflated with inflation
It drowned in new taxation
The hands of power strangle
Poking from every angle
Moulding it weak & small
A cock without its balls
Limp in forced compliance
Devoid of all defiance
Its decomposition,
deemed too unstable
‘Dispose of carefully’
it read on the label

A nice sideways-look poem, Stephen. It hints and teases.
