SCARCITY SCATTER
Dignity and decorum
Belong to those without need
Separating and sucking
As they pillage and feed
...the lowly
In the high court of royalty
Permission must be given
For dogs to be seen and heard
As cockroaches among the livin'
....saints
How dare slaves demand
The right to breath the same air
As those who have "right to rule"
On a planet that isn't theirs
...to inhabit
A mouth full of words
Is good for thought
The universe has spoken
And given what you got
...eat!
