28 Years

 

It’s a long spell of

continuous employment

serving the public.

Today it comes to an end;

a switch to Civil Service.

The Ministry

 

Pale civil servants

wearing tired suits and faces;

austerity’s grip.

 

by Scooj

A different emphasis

A departure from the natural history haiku today

 

Public sector cuts

diminish the services

we take for granted.

 

by Scooj

I work in the public sector and with the UK election in full swing I thought I would start to voice my thoughts through haiku. It isn’t just health and education (which are reasonably well protected) it is all the other public services we should be worried about. Especially when it comes to the environment.
