poem 189


Now the water you drink, is full of chemical waste and lined in lead to you

While the air, you thought was free and clean, is in fact guarantee to kill 

And the food your forced, to feed your family, is laced in poisonous waste


Still they say capitalism is the only way…

so don't complain, about the pain

you see every day 

Besides that's what we designed for you!


Now your day of work, no better than slave wage to a early grave

As the bills grow over you and consume any growth you proudly made

And that noose around your family's neck, is called your killing debt 


Still they say capitalism is the only way…

so don't complain, about the pain, 

you feel every day

Besides, how do you expect me to get rich!


Now your democracy has been sold off, to the richest companies in usa

and your vote, coldy placed into the bin, for you voted the wrong way 

Though you know, proudly they cleansed any parties of the left anyway


Still they say capitalism is the only way…

so don't complain, about the pain, 

you hear every day 

Besides, how do you expect me, to consume all of you!


Now your human rights, feels nothing more than a fleeting distant sight 

While every day, your world becomes shite, as the rich party all night 

And you know, hunger grows, to feed the despair, that steals all your air 


Still they say capitalism is the only way…

so don't complain, about the pain, 

you scream every day 

Besides, how do you expect me pay for this golden chair
