The snake

Capitalism and the people are like a snake

Curled round eating itself,

Slowly, out of greed

Devouring itself,

Feasting on itself,

Not realising that one day

It’ll eat to much of itself,

And simply die,

Killed by its own greed,

And because of its blindness

To what it’s actually doing,

Capitalism is just the head

Devouring us, the body,

The body may not be able

To live without its head,

But the head cannot survive

Without the body,

It’s this which defines us as equal,

So why is it we are not?

Why does the live in denial of this?

Because it’s blinded by greed.
