“Frustration”

Frustration in PNG knows no limits,
For me that is,.
Been one of those days…
There goes the angry white man!

Watch out…
There goes that angry SOB,
He rants and he raves,
Impatient bastard he is.

A queue here
And another queue over there
Bloody queues
That’s all I can say.

When there’s a job to be done,
Or a task,
Any type of work really,
Only digression.

From this to that
And the other way round,
Try harder
Or don’t try at all.

Just to get a key cut
And no blanks
One locksmith…
Followed by another.

Brian Bell,
Fuckin Brian Bell,
Yep…
Bigger makes no difference whatsover.

Labour is cheap,
So plenty of workers,
All sitting or standing,
Just staring.

And what about the quotation system,
Always three.
Petty cash,
If only.

A new home…
And trades people come and go,
Looking and staring mostly,
The job unfinished.

But here I am ladies and gentlemen – PNG
The land where patience
Just like frustration
Is stretched beyond limits.
