CAPITALISM
has been SOLD as the best thing
since sliced Dinosaurs;
keen on the biggest profits;
keen to grip them tight;
despises the strugglers,
casting them outside the gate.
RED in TOOTH and CLAW
businesses kill off
opposition, failures, and the poor -
often rearranges us
instead of uniting us.
Trade distorts, twists men.
CAPITALISM
uses, disrespects workers
and only a few
can amass enough to feel secure-
Opium for the masses;
profits for the dealers.
The Man in the Street
but not the Man in First Class
gets a right raw deal.
BUSINESS MANUALS
sell what you can, how you can -
desperate trading.
Cheap and expensive
tat sold in the free market -
it's a fool's market,
A Salty Proverb -
sharing wealth sweetens the world
empties the Tax Havens.
LAP DANCING pays off
student debt and the mortgage,
flexible working -
that sounds ideal for Tories;
do they invest in those clubs?
Capitalists relax
in the better part of town
hem out the wage slaves;
where has kindness gone? -
scaffolding shelters beggars,
unlike the Tories.
The entrepreneur
compensates competitors
who lose the sales wars?
a poor President
will ensure fair shares for all ?
UTOPIA wil come?
I bought that VIOLIN
almost a million quid -
should have paid someone
to prevent drowning;
why must I be so greedy?
Old Testament Jubilees
empty Tax Havens,
wipe the record clean,
scatter the hidden, frozen currency
back to the starting line
for the communal walk.
