The Historical Handing Over of the Reins of the World to the Worker. April 2020 - Poem

 

essential workers
in our collective hour of need
if held us to ransom
when we needed them
and this only time, we could all admit it.
Demand a living wage from
the capitalists, Demand a wealthy
wage from the slave owners
ask to be set free from bonds of material poverty.
To be able to choose to work, to be given the dignity of that choice, to serve us,
they'd be good capitalists.

But they're not
they are Democratic Economy Citizens, who passed over their historical handing
of the reins of the world, so we could continue to hurt them
and know it. Enjoy it. Knowing their trained uselessness in the face of abused power.
Scum lords, bankers, greedy rich robotic vampires filled with puss of neglected sores.
Wiping us all out for their brittle egos
The mad, making the insane look harmless, we're only losing the planet.
We let the rich dictate
our reality, our shared reality, when Democracy must push all the way back.
Tax the rich. Write on each of their excessive cars and houses - earth killer
it’s true. Let’s see it.
Send an army of the standing poor to police it
Take the money back empty their profit halls and storage tanks stolen from us.
No more toleration for this wealth fascism.
They are not gods, delivered here from another world, just monkeys with inheritance.
Our collective mind is greater than this. To see the visions of greatness realised; they’ve
had their chance,
charities rape,
business steal
philanthropy is pissing in the wind
We've all taken a step backwards, with capitalism.

work less, consume less
be more

Now the state and Gov. can prove to these, essential workers, that they are right to be
Democratic Citizens
and the world of poverty is eliminated.
