In Gold We Trust

You don't care if I care,
Or if my aim is true.
All that gets this deal done
Is what's in it for you.

I don't know what's in your heart,
Nor do I care to see.
All that matters in the end
Is what's in it for me.

Selfishness is virtue
And leads to all that's good.
It's better to rely on greed
Than bank on brotherhood.

The capitalist bible
(aka, "Jesus Shrugged")
Leads us to the worship
Of the most successful thugs.

"Glad tidings to the poor!
The Lord shall bring to pass
Liberty to captives."
Christian nation, my fat ass!

Crappy Leaders

Wars and killings all over the news. Why are we silent doing nothing for this abuse. Leaders and their bullshit are locked in their rooms. Meetings and talking only when there is another boom.

Reality Poem

Everything must go. Buy to fill the hole, The gaping gap within Your worthless little soul. 'Cause we're just paid, And we just buy, We all stack shelves Until we die. Why. It's simple.
