Why I Occupy
Sometimes I am angry.
Sometimes I wanna scream
'bout the injustice I see
every day.
For example
a Wal-Mart employee
who's only been late to work three times
in seventeen years
wakes up one day
feelin' like ****
calls in late.
Goes to work that day.
Two days later wakes up
in significant pain.
Goes into work anyway
calls doc to set up appointment
is told
Yes, we have room two weeks from now
for you.
Please bring your $20.00 co-pay.
Don't have $20 to spare
So guess the $43.15 deducted from every paycheck
for health “insurance”
Isn't enough to support
whatever lifestyle put this system together?
Ok, I'll die from you, but at least I have
Decent
Moral
Compassionate
Caring
friends.
We ARE the 99%
