Capitalism

Capitalism

Boring ain’t it?
Snoring
Getting up for work in the morning
9 till 5 if you’re lucky, choring
This office chair ain’t my calling
Grow up too fast, no warning 
Childhood, we’re mourning
Thinking back to the days of exploring
Playing when the rain was pouring
When you’re paid the taxman is swarming
Getting bills out of nowhere, spawning
2 weeks’ vacation, we’re adoring
The other 50 weeks, we’re conforming
This whole system needs reforming 
But the big boys keep ignoring 
Humanity needs restoring 
Our perception they are warping  
Dreading another day dawning 
Everyone is tired, yawning 
Capitalism is daunting 
Poverty is soaring 
I’d never seen toilet roll cause supermarket brawling
People bowing to the jobcentre, on their knees crawling
They can’t possibly up your giro, they need their marble flooring

Capitalism in my opinion has it's share of problems because of corrupt people worshiping the dollar. Communism is corrupt people ruling over the few. because governments in both are corrupted by power that brings wealth or wealth that brings power. so blaming the form of government doesn't solve the problem, the problem is corrupt people that aren't held accountable. my rant for the day, thanks for your write!...........................................................Jim
