Message Vi Ransel
An increasingly impossible American Dream
rubs the face of the poor in this fraud.
And the poor are increasingly aware
their situation's not an act of God

nor the invisible hand of the market
but, in fact, a conscious decision
made each and every day
by their erstwhile fellow Americans.

And this strategy isn't hidden, it's open
and agressive with a minimum of cover,
and, as outsourcing accelerates,
works its way up the economic ladder.

Elected representatives just wring their hands
and cry crocodile tears in mock sorrow,
then vote to grant CORPSE more rights.
The poor du jour could be you tomorrow.

And as CORPSE and their minions conspire
to get more rich by creating more poor
where there once was a War on Poverty
there is now a War on the Poor.


"Those who make peaceful revolution impossible, will make violent revolution inevitable." - John Fitzgerald Kennedy
