[ Politics ] Capitalist Aggression

  
Land of the Free
Home of the Slave  
 
You'd be better off living in a cave  
   
Road to Hell they pave  
by paying next to nothing;  
least amount required by Law  
   
while trying to sell some shock
and awe bullshit about you    
being unskilled, therefore
expendable  
   
There's the door---  
positions to be filled by plenty    
from where you came from---  
born into households poor  
   
Capitalist  
so fucking full of yourself  
pissed at the prospect:    
hamburgers costing    
twenty-five cents more  
   
Aggression  
 
Congress now in session
  
need to limit the minimum wage  
perpetuate warfare of classes  
   
and assuage the festering rage  
of those accustomed to earning money    
all the while sitting on their asses
