they're everywhere
smoking pot on your couch
lecturing you about the moneyed class
who run everything and steal from us
while destroying our souls like tiny eggshells
and you know if they were smart
or rich enough to schmooze their way
into a double breasted suit
and fire a father of three kids
for resting his eyes on the job
they would
rebellion died with the invention of the microwave
and now all we do is watch our TVs
while complaining that TV is shit
and read the tabloids
while complaining that the tabloids are false
and talk about lynching
while decrying the state for its inhumanity
