Slaves to the Dime

by @ham-aloufi

want to live in a world where we aren’t slaves to the dime. I want to live my life while I’m still alive But I’m stuck with a 9 to 5 Bullies on the side waiting to taking my lunch money away Oh shit you got some expenses to buy God damn it I need to refill my prescription I am trapped in a position Dig through the garbage again I need some real food to fill me in So cold tonight Look at the pretty hottie But damn yo you god damn expensive How come things are like that I sleep in a bed when my fellow humans can’t get a roof over their heads Oh right they don’t have that type of green So why should we care bout their well being They aren’t slaves to the dime Why should things be like this it is fucking sickening how our world has become. Till when are we gonna keep silent Big brother why are you taking his hugs away Mother can love us all It not fair Some of us keep ranting about how cold it is. People be thankful you have something to cover yourself up. Or you know what? There are people out there whom question why are we even a part of this world. No food, clean water, clothes, heater, no medical care, safety, and simply dream of a roof over their heads. How did we degrade this far? How come there are people like that? It’s fucking shameful how we allowed things to become. We kept quiet for so long voice is simply gone. We cared about the dime, and lost focus about what makes us feel alive. We all should be living life in a world filled with love and care Our earth had enough scars to bare I am just sick and tired Bout yea know Just being a slave to the dime.
