Government's Extravagance

Just another 120 million. How long we can work and never make this much, not even the 30 of us in 20 years. A car for 60,000, a house for 360,000 and food everyday for 20 years and we still wouldn’t have spent all this. Imagine enough to give 120,000 people a 1,000 each. I can’t imagine the stretch that these dollars have.

 

Government’s Extravagance

 

Have you wondered what 120 million could buy

Ever computed all that so much can supply

You hear this amount but never appreciate

Bajans Officials write it off like it is fly bait

I learnt my life style could drastically change

Generous living can be easily arranged

Spread over a a period of 20 years

Putting me out of living in arrears

Estimations reveal that I can buy

New house, car and 3 meals daily, on the fly

Dollars remaining can extend to others like me

Ensuring that 29 others live 20 years in luxury

Real shame this money will be buried in cement

Spread over 30 it would be more productively spent
