I am grateful for the CBC judges for choosing a poem that points out, in a few lines, the cruelty of care homes where the system demands that its shareholders who cannot smell the urine, be paid according to their expectations.

Was it so cruel before the pandemic?

Is the focus on profit and shareholders a problem for our system or a problem of the human will to justice.
