ROB FROM MAIN STREET

ROB FROM MAIN STREET

and fill the bellies of Wall Street. Here,
take what we do not have your bonuses are calling.

The voice of the people--
what voice? what people?
Government passed it
and packaged it,
the 700 billion dollar cake.
How many workers will be pulled out
and forced to dance? A dance
our children and their children will have to learn.

Republican. Democrat.
Same coin; same head; same tail.
Corporate-dictators
flipping it for fun and profit.
A government fooling the people
and burying the people.

Bread lines forming.
Houses foreclosing.
Workers left with empty hands,
broken spirits
broken lives:
Corporate-dictators
elated to spread this plague.

The means of living itself gasping for breath.
Its throat squeezed,
voiceless,
the only way it can be controlled.
