I HAVE A LIFE*
I have a life somewhere between
CNN and MTV (If I could only find it)
But doctors, lawyers, government
Are things with which I must contend
Though I, in truth, don't want to.
I want my freedom from these things
That hurt my body and my brain.
I'm forced,
Against my own free will
To produce and earn, earn, earn-
so prices can go up again?
I am an economic slave.
I find no one competent
To protect me and take over
Not in the USA at least
Where I am trapped for many years.
Kennedy called it a "war"
But know this:
In the capitalist economics
Warfare games
Surrender's not granted
Not even in death.
