everyone says
strong bootstraps
beget rewards
while leagues
of craftsmen
struggle
everyone follows
another trend
overboard while
Davy Joneses
hold their
breath
everyone feels
their sin
beside beggars
with hands
made of
*******
everyone thinks
job creators’
heroic strength
will someday
trickle down
decency
but
everyone knows
when something
is heavy
you lift
from the
bottom
