Tinsletown Usa
poverty stricken rally,
swing low sweet chariots...
no one to take me home
middle class no more, low verses the rich,
win to lose,
never win win..
too bad for the nation,
too bad for the world,
ratification melting in the dreams of our lives,
days get shorter,
nights filled with bottomless swill
the crust of the universe
churning the good to evil,
elite to elite,
middle class no more..
how far we have carried the nation,
from grounds to skyscrapers,
solvency to desolation,
coherency of our nation,
riddled with holes,
spewing the liquidity of middle class bums
and flooding the pockets of the rich..
salvation evaporated and now saturated with
half of the universe ..
help no more..
no one to save us
our lives are now merely maintainable
and no longer enjoyable
retirement is a fear of the others...called middle class
