The rich get richer  the poor just die

I could not be more sadder tonight,

Yet so many more wasted lives,

Perished in a way unnecessary 

So many young and poor lost today,

It didn’t  need to be this way 

It does not have end in more graves,

It’s a crime.

The wealthy are fine, drinking their wine,

Poor are just trying to get by,

Facing austerity,

Living with cuts,

While the wealthy get much more than enough

But it doesn’t need to be this way,

Humanity should share everyday,

It’s a crime.

We live hand to mouth,

They are living it up,

We struggle to survive,

They do t give a fuck,

We desperately try to fight for more,

They are just interested in fighting wars,

I doesn’t have to go on this way,

We don’t have to be governed by them each day,

It’s a crime,

That’s why people die,

To help make the rich, richer

While the poor just die,

And they simply lie

And we’re left with tears in our eyes.

    And the rich people’s kids traveling the world like they are poor. Banging on about the problem yet keeping the status quo. Political science 101… not in the slime rags or other propaganda. The great fight is over ourselves. Learning the difference between a want and a need. Nothing wrong with judging if one is good at it. Just that it is so convenient for nice people to keep that emotional distance like a bombardier from the ground… which eradicates nicely from afar. We can all be responsible for self. If I were educated with the best available in the nation why can I still eat from a rubbish bin if I feel sick sitting with weak assholes who will neved see some of the resesources I have? Insanity certainly weighs in though those qualified to say so insist I am more sane than them and want me in their diary more. Experience? Love and compassion… gee I have some fans around them garbage bins. It ain’t about me though said Tony Stark. Lol. At least he made sure everyone in his rehab got the same food he did. Or so I was told. Gentleman.
