Embrace The Change

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.
