The bigger the theif
the denser the fog
hence, fatter the pig
and fuller the mall

larger the milstone
bedecking the poor
soiled and sooted, yes
begging for more

high land for richy
landfill for trash
up there he's itchy
for their petty stash

deep pockets get deeper
the shorter get holes
dig a grave poorman
go live with the moles

ain't no such thing
as living for free
ain't no such thing
don't know? just ask me

a dime to a dollar
from babes to defense
in war, richy's sheltered
with iron, cement

papa, can we pitch
our green canvas tent?

no need to explain
no need to lament

where are the young ones?
where did they go?
'mongst garbage and flowers
their spirits do flow

paper it burns, then floats
to the sky
like what they say happens
when any soul dies

any soul dies
in a shelter or out
any soul dies
whether it screams or
it shouts
any soul dies be it animal
or man
any soul dies
save yours if you can

piggy's back, ride
the plight of the mole
piggy's fat,  claims
you're lazy, no goals

soon you'll eat turkey
free baskets with treats
to stretch it a year
would be a great feat

but heavy the millstone
bedecking the poor
begging for handouts
at Richy's front door

boy, can I relate, my son a police officer, and his borthers all received a 1 % raise, but can you imagine, the state officials gave themselves a 40% raise???????  How could they do that and not be ashamed...I'd like to see them, put their fat asses in harms way?  

Well done!

and once again, you dig right in:

paper it burns, then floats
to the sky
like what they say happens
when any soul dies


Wish I had written that, Tier.
