We All Know How the Poem Goes

We all know how the poem goes,
But too many didn’t care.
Now are neighbors are facing woes,
And leaving home is something they don’t dare.

They came for those who sounded off,
Then with a difference in how they love,
Followed by those with a different god,
And so many more who thought they were above.

Prices went through the roof,
Jobless rates soared,
People’s futures went poof,
And wealth was built for the board.

This is what they voted for,
An excuse to kill the poor.
