Explotation Continues

exploitation continues
the thieves are ever at it
the heroes have departed
leaving behind the weaklings to be exploited
Here’s a worker sweating blood
while the eating homo-chewing dance frenzy
the tamed enslaved beings roam and wander
but only in the marked electrofenced domain
Aspirations limited,
Horizons restricted,
everyday eking
everyday fleecing
poverty adorns the wretched men and women
sentenced to rot in want and need
while the eating thieves wallow in intimacy
Whilst poor Jones stands at the door
guarding the fallen grumps of the dozing boss
billionaire feeds off his work and despair.
