The Necessities
I'm too able bodied to be this poor,
too intelligent to ignore,
the establishment
f$cking us over anymore.
Why's the working class
the poorer class?
And who does the more
important tasks?
For profit everything;
everyday swindling;
minimum wage
that doesn't pay
for the necessities...
Reassess your priorities
as population booms
mass produced, industrialized
automation of consumption...
Maybe free market thinking
isn't quite so free any more.
And how is it that in the
age of information
education isn't free?
When it comes to the necessities
who has the right to profit off these?
It's time we end poverty,
wise up and save our trees.
My life of luxury ain't
stressing bout necessity;
just eating well with shelter,
public transit and i'll prosper.
