The Rulers
The rulers
The poor rule the world, live in badly built flats
buy plastic rubbish for the children as toys.
They can`t cook and their diet is fat and disgusting,
but without them, the rich would not be wealthy,
fewer cars on the roads full of potholes as there
would no one to keep the road drivable.
And their big offices would stink as no one cleaned
them, which really doesn`t matter as lifts would
be out of order, and no janitors to change light bulbs.
So you see, the poor are privileged they are
the rulers of our modern society the opulent
can`t do without them.
