FISCALLY UNBOUND
The poor and working class, believed forever bound. Living beneath those who wear the crowns. Just because there wealth and influence astounds.
Until one day the weight we carry causes us to drown. For the loss of life and dignity forced us to look around. Realizing we became slaves to a society where our voices would never sound.
Living in a world where our money would always flow uptown. For the sweat and blood we shed, guarantees us a spot at the burial mound. No longer can we wait and hope for our luck to rebound.
For some of us have waited patiently, to hear the revolution sound. With my gun in hand, I load these rounds. For the war I knew was coming will soon quake the ground.

Thanks for writing this. I'm challenged by money, work and bills. Seems I'll die one day from the grocery bill shock. But, as I review this critically, things really aren't that bad. There will always be a small number of wealthy, and a large number of poor, I'm ok with that. Slaves to society is one of my challenges, besides money, there's the structure related to work, events, places, everything, always some of these people get to make rules, and other (me) people get to follow the rules. Don't you get it, uhm, not really. Flowing money uptown is a problem, but there is some choice in the what / where to buy. I don't see a revolution of guns, but of ideas, like gardening, recycling, walking/biking. Changing society to what people can live peacefully with. Violence doesn't seem to solve much.
