Go Away

Shall I dine on the poor Because their abundance lowers prices? Can I look at those eyeing my grocery bag Filled with diet pills for my dog And say circus elephants have a right to die While we live too many None of us stopping for another care, Another cause too much for media. Medea killed and became song. Too many die alone each day And still beef prices remain steady. Diners Club accepts Master Race. All othere wait by the road That never ends to feed on themselves Feeding becoming less fancy-frenzy The further in you go. The trouble that will never go away.
