The bully-the-pussies fat ass
Doesn't care for our middle class

Means the wealthy are nursed
By the troll whose tower is brass...

T-rump is not such a bad guy!
Our middle class needs he'll supply
Quite humble in charge
With sweet bounty so large
He's charming just like Captain Bligh...

Working class people 
Do not trust socialist intellectuals
Don´t get lured by them 
They are upper middle class people 
Who want to run your revolution....

It's the middle class t-rump attacks
This ass dumps our social contracts
For Inc(s) he does care
And for-the-rich welfare
Disguised by his off the wall acts...

Deregulation wasn’t to blame
For the failure of banks
Loss of middle class ranks
‘Til unemployment had to pay him in francs...

overworked cog in capitalism’s ever-quickening pace 
bastard son of middle class
dressed in proper trappings
yet blinded 
by economy’s firestorm
little chance to tie my proper shoes....

 There is no prayer for
the Middle Class
The American Dream we no longer see
We can not get the help to meet our needs
the Middle Class
Soon we will be extinct......

Not having much
A helpful hand
Keeps the poor 
On dry land

Having it all
To the rich it's free
Given boats
To sail the sea

Left to drowned
The middle class
Creating the survivors
That will outlast...

If all is lost
and lost for all
Then what's the point
In standing tall
Cheats and scoundrels 
wall to wall
Middle class
is poised to fall
Our fathers hopes
Beyond recall
As modern leaders
Drop the ball...

You both say you have the middle class, 
In mind to help their struggle now,
Where have you both been before?
We’ve been struggling for years,
Senators can’t help,
Just presidents,
Maybe so,
We’ll see,
When...

The middle class a fitting target
steal warmth from them
showing no guilt

Don't ask me why
Why God made me
Don't ask me why
I am a child of God
Don't ask me why
I am a middle class person
Don't ask me why
I made friends with poor people
I don't like the rich people at all
Because they despise the poor people...

The Lower class
Have people interpret the words for them.

The Middle class
Simply read with their eyes.

The Upper class
Do not read at all.
In fact,
They just stare at a blank page because 
If you are rich enough,
You are the poem....

Seems like such a good thing, 
too bad there’s an agenda; 
It’s strangling the middle class,
making us all dependent
under the guise of a helping hand;
Later we will see the remnants 
upside down  and inflated;
Shame on us for letting them....

Hiding in the middle class,
I made my way through life

Looking like I had it made,
no struggle and no strife

Others couldn’t see it,
as it metastasized inside

A terminal metamorphosis
—hidden from your eyes

strange these people
with elevator out of service face ...
   they would like to climb higher
but they stand still. In life...

Strange heart, Concorde face
people who would like to ascend to heaven
but who never realized the true height... of life...!..!...

wall streets greed

ripped through my life

like bullets from a machinegun

ripping me from the middle class

and ripping her out of my life

ripping her beautiful eyes

her beautiful smile

her beautiful caresses

her beautiful voice

her beautiful comforts

gone for good....

Nope, benefits for the wealthy does not 
trickle down to middle-class
and the poor, that's nonsense.

Enriching captains of industry? Please.
What about the little guys?
They deserve a leg up!

Hi !
      

      Fashionable Rosy leaned on a post.
      With posy of rose came close
      Middle class guy Bobby
      getting down from a lobby,
       addressed to propose,
        ‘Hi !’   I love you most.’
