Servitude the old fashioned way
As Downton Abbey and the rest,
You’d argue no longer exists -
And be wrong.
And here I leave world slavery
Alone and stay with what I know:
Meal delivery services
Just not on.
So in free anglophone countries
You’d say poor pay and servitude
At work doesn’t happen today,
And be wrong.
Backpack e-bike combinations
Clutter the roads about everywhere;
Desperate folks working for peanuts
Just not on.

Broaden the argument: Why import skilled workers from overseas? Get the trapped off the roads; train them; the ‘rich’ off their thrones and out, (without their mobile phones).
