The Kingdom of Capitalism
Or The Laughing One Percent
The Animal Kingdom is turning on its head
The lion’s share has been thrown out to the hyenas
While the lioness scrapes and scavenges
To make up for the loss from her hunt
To keep her pride alive
Starvation is imminent
The King of the Savannah lies dying
As hyenas laugh down at him
The one percent taking over the population—
Scavengers taking food while hunters get nothing
Why don’t the lions eat the hyenas instead?
Natural order restored
