tax the rich

the wolves are all circling yet remain unseen

at death’s door waiting to feast on the meek

but who will the wolves devour

when they have only themselves to eat

I ask the same of your capitalist dollar

when the consumer can no longer afford to feed

on the trash they are sold week after week

everything is subject to universal gravity

be it an apple, our emotions

or the market they worship when it’s on a streak

all that goes up will come crashing back down

if not kept afloat by help from those on the ground

to continually rise the foundation must do the same

so don’t be surprised when the futures look bleak

they’ve only their greed to blame

when all of their consumers

are living on the streets
