Poem Title:
Poem
My brothers and sisters Listen to this We spend our money And this is not a myth We contribute to this society We contribute to this world It is our money That can make a head twirl Estimated 300 (+) billion dollars spent last year And 270 (+) billion spent the year before Spending money in this world Like never before We keep the economy going We keep the money stacked high We keep big wigs pockets filled But what about you How much money do you make? How much do you let the economy take? How much money do you spend? Until you’ve reached the very end And we continue to do so Day after day, week after week Realize our power, it is not bleek We purchase an assortment of valuables Spending money on so many things Styling and profiling While continuously buying Making this world rich Ain’t that a trip! Then you can’t get a loan To buy you a home I’m not talking about those who have jacked up their credit I’m talking about the ones who have the money to make it But discrimination and predatory lending Attempts to stop you from spending Or building For what every hard-working person is striving for A house, a home, just having your own Being sought out on job applications Codes based upon the races Not getting hired because of the color of your skin When will this madness end! But you can continue to buy the products the company makes Keeping them rich, while they want to hate? Realize the power of your pocket Of your wallet We are not the majority? Now that is some bull We are the ones with the true pull Try not buying one single thing In any given day Watch how the economy Crashes in such a nasty way We can make it or break it in 24 hours Can I say this any LOUDER! So to hell with what people say About my race of people How about that for humor? Recognize, we are the Number 1 Consumer
