Michael E. Harris Poet Free verse

Corporate Corruption

CORPORATE GIANTS
DON'T TO JAIL.
THEY MERELY 
PAY A FEE.
THIS ALLOWS 
THE CEO,
RESPONSIBLE,
TO WALK FREE.

IT DOESN'T
REALLY MATTER
WHAT YOU MAY
HAVE TO SAY.
CORPORATIONS
CONTROL THE RULES
IT'S YOU
WHO HAS TO PAY.

YOU PAY WHEN YOU 
HAVE LOSS OF LIFE.
YOU PAY WHEN
FORESTS FIRES.
CORPORATIONS
SEEM TO FLOURISH
WHEN TIMES
TRANSCEND TO DIRE.

YOU PAY WITH 
LOSS OF FREEDOM
OF BOTH MIND 
AND SOUL.
THE PSYCHOPATHS
ARE AWARE
AND BELIEVE
THEY'RE IN CONTROL.

POVERTY 
IS NOT A CRIME.
WHEN YOU'RE
LIVING ON THE STREETS.
MANY PEOPLE
LOST THEIR JOBS
COORDINATED 
BY ELITES.

REDUCE
THE POPULATION.
IT WAS
OPENLY DECLARED.
THOSE CONTROLLED
BY THE MEDIA
BELIEVE ME.
THEY DON'T CARE.

BILLIONAIRES
INCREASED THEIR WEALTH.
THE MIDDLE-CLASS,
BECAME THE PEASANTS.
PAUPERS KNOW
AND UNDERSTAND
STAY CLEAR
WHEN ELITES ARE PRESENT.
