Capitalism At Its' Best

That child there you see standing  
that look and frown on his face  
you are hoping the holes in the clothes  
are just the style  
As winter cheer grows ever near  
  
The woman that looks sleep deprived  
the composition frail like all she is  
consists of bones  
you are thinking she is on a diet  
As winter cheer grows near  
  
A beggar standing at the light  
words like unkempt and grungy come to mind  
tell yourself he is a con man  
he will go home to a warm bed and meal  
As winter cheer grows near  
  
The child connected to that oxygen mask  
barely holding onto life  
you know she was just separated from parents  
once informed they will come to her aid  
As winter grows near  
  
The village that is finding burial plots  
that is just nature reminding us  
and we all will have our time  
no not because of the lead and other toxins in the water  
As winter cheer grows near  
  
So when you hate those facts of life called taxes  
those services that only government has  
the scope to provide  
so convinced that privatization is the answer  
As winter cheer grows near  
  
So be safe and warm in the abode  
count your toys and your new smart phone  
relish in crazed consumerism  
survival of the fittest  
As winter cheer grows near  
  
Now tell me will that be debit or credit?
