Symptoms of a disease called Society
Police forget their motto To protect and serve the tax payers Instead they serve the gods of money People sleeping in the streets Food Bank shelves empty Homeless shelters walls bulging out Hospitals turn away hundreds of patients Insurance companies share the risk not benefits Emergency rooms overcome Veterans treated as recyclables T.B.i. and P.S.T.D. cause suicides War and exposure Families relate Churches turn political Grab power& wealth Money changers? Schools forget to educate Jails are full and old New ones to be built Street swallow up Vans Bridges become unsafe Beaches unkempt Tax exmptions for corporations Jobs leave for foreign lands Super rich take over Rich class, the I.R.S. gives a pass Congress says what we can do Money talks and dominates Rains and storms change the land Mortgages de-rail, banks fail, Has anyone got a Diagnoses Republicans make the mess Democrats try to fix it, they can't Elitest Say Hell no, & money talks _____________________ JDW©2008
