nice show.
jackdaw hearkening
america's courts are full
of people being fined or jailed
for not having the insurance
they can not afford
in china
miners threaten to jump off roofs,
their retirement embezzled by their bosses
in europe
workers are threatened-
their jobs will go to Hungary if they object
nafta, fta, wto, imf
where is mother russia, mother jones?
a million working men and women march
to mobilize,
to disgorge
the gag,
their jackdaw hearkening-
"birth-to-cradle health care
national-living-wage
manufacturing-at-home
social-security-socially-held,
a decent life-after-retirement,
the end of so-called
"free trade agreements"
that rob and threaten,
public schools,
progressive taxes,
(instead of fees,
penalties,
and prisons,)
patriots who protest
philosophies of slave owner and overseer
morfed into hatred
and contempt
4 the poor
are "terrorists"
