Free Market

What is free about this market?
What is free in this market?
We are free only to see 
With no power to buy that we need.
Nothing is free in this free market
Except for hunger in poverty.

Workers are freely laid off 
Graduates chewing unemployment freely
Mortality rate from 70 freely flow to 52
Illness and deaths are handed over to us free
When are we going to free ourselves 
Off this free market?

Time to un –free ourselves from West’s market
And plan centrally our market for the
Millions not the Millionaires.
