The problem isn't money itself,
but that we built a place to live
where at a certain turning point
the currency representative
of the spirit of fair exchange
became the ubiquitous make it or break.

Now we have a pool of the few
with the opulence of monarchies
risen above the else in golden towers.

There are individuals in the united states
with the avenues of revenue who
could make improvements to this
place who are resting on their laurels.

You want to blame the government,
the Clinton or the Trump, but the
significance of the figurehead
is dead on its arrival.

Look at the ******* stars and cast your shame,
we elevate these faces to celebrity
and they talk a game without giving.

A charity in your name means jack ******* ****,
when the unloved and the uneducated
overpopulate the states with escalating hate
as they strive only for a future where
the opposition absolute is soaking in the earth
beneath hot casings as the rain upon the dirt.

I don't have the clout, but I think I have the words,
I don't have the answer, but I hope I'm heard.

Everyone with access to power and the means,
wake up! Put your heads together,
figure out a way to make us free.

We're headed into another moment of
opportunity for you to exercise your choice.

Will you entertain the notion
of the elite and the peasantry
until it kills us all
or will you use your tool to stab
into the ventricles of deceit?
