Posted on February 20, 2020April 15, 2021 THE RICH GET RICHER A wall Street-off Scott Lynch/Flickr I hear the Rich are happy now Millions are left uninsured Their congressional pawns lie straight-faced Tax money saved and secured How much do Rich need to satisfy How far can their zeros extend Common decency should prove the check When so many have so little to spend Ask, they’ll say: we worked hard for our money We deserve every fruit of the earth They’ll explain to us, meritocracy Forget criminal inheritance, and birth They’re rich because we like their stuff As greed smiles behind our backs Their small Christmas bonus implies We can buy those boots but not those straps The Rich assuage guilt with philanthropy Tattooing their hearts with no blame As the poor kneel to pray for cures For diseases bearing only their names Share this:ShareFacebookWhatsAppEmailRedditLike this:Like Loading...
