Pay by Chris Janzen

pay ( working title )

the I.M.F. come lookin for their fix
they'll take it in a pound of flesh
everyone makes a dividend off the interest

But a father is put to the test
when he watches his children go off (to make laces)
and he braces himself for another day
for a dollars pay
the minimum wage in the world's work place.
