Country Inc

Country Inc. We're not as backward as you may think we're citizens of The Country Inc. the mission statement, our purpose stated is not that we're all made equated - It's more that this quarter's statement's due filch off the many, to pocket the few The ad campaign's already produced lie lines written and on the loose You fool ninety percent all the damn time and they don't believe that it's a crime How cool is that!, how cool you ask? is a topped-up Ponsi so hard to grasp? Our constitution's shape, a pyramid reminding the point is unwarranted The pointed top, they say is sharp, sharpest guys in the room they'll say Keep excavating the base's strength and it'll invert over the other way Toys are things and people are people who has the most of each, says a lot about what a person values as equal what's yours is mine, no matter what's got if it ain't now, we'll make it legal wink 'n' whisper 'n' don't get caught bye-bye freedoms bought by our by-laws in micro-pica font for fine-printed clause corporations are people and people The Country we all know, that it's all for the money and money after all is what we're here for scraping and clawing in this capital war so damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead fodder citizens and soldiers so easily bled of riches hard-earned, their hard-work toiled for the few, the chosen, their soft hands unspoiled not calloused yet callous in daily demeanor easy to take the whole Country to the cleaners I'll swear to you that economy is paramount stuffed into clandestine offshore accounts but business is business no need for rancor vocationing as a Wall Street investment banker and take what's there pinched by legality incorporated into our capitalism's reality © Goode Guy 2013-05-21
