We have presidents of companies
That charge ridiculous amounts
for necessities like
basic medical facilities!
Making billions off us
who are lacking much
and can barely feed our families.
“It’s your own fault,
Get a higher salary.”
Fuck you, why do they need
billions in currency?
J&J, Pfizer, and Roche
have more money
than damn near everybody.
Oh, and that’s their presidents salary
After paying out for experiments
research, and other things.
You are only fooling yourself
if you think they are decent humanitarians
“They care about the world
that’s why they deserve to be
some of the highest paid companies.”
If they would truly care for you and me
they would sink more than ten percent of revenue
into the global money stream.
Volunteer their billions to fighting hunger
homelessness and criminality.
Instead they produce millionaires
who hoard their money,
prodding along the wealth gap
through death of the poor
And wealth of their own personnel.
Then comes the electronic tycoons
the ones who are running the news.
They beleive in freedom of speech,
so long as it supports their growth.
If they dont like what you say
they red mark your name and block your page.
On top of censorship
their income streams are the highest on this planet!
Multiple houses, cars, and other shit
that they dont need, but have becuase they
don’t invest back in the betterment
of society.
Tell me why some people think
less than one percent of humans
need to control the wealth of the planet?
I believe that you should work for what you own
but theres a point where you owe it to the world
to invest back into the poor, needy, and cold.
