Suspicious Planning

We are only ever told 'Plan B is to get into debt'
after Plan A pans out badly. It takes that long
for us to be suspicious about all planning, all along.

Because it is when Plan B really kicks in
that we learn what the planners meant to happen.

And usually what 'planning means
is that one closed and barely known hierarchy,
deciding for everybody how they should live;
How much or little the masses should be living on.

If the clique were clearer about it sooner
they know their plan would disappoint.
Hence the Plan A/Plan B strategy
for what they intended from the off.

Better for transparency's sake,
better disappointment through honesty
which allows for changes to be made later,
than denials and evasions all along.
