Look around and you'll see Dozens of eyes starring at me
They see possible famine and more Just outside their open door
Can't be -- you say from your penthouse suite Just look at all we have to eat!
Bad choice of words but does apply. For minimum wage we lived and we'll die.
Work til you drop, spend til the end. What's life if not to spend, spend, spend?
"You should have saved more" the wealthy cry out. If you'd just saved more, you'd be rich, no doubt.
Trash gets dumped and set "outside". While you and yours watched the tide.
Slow then fast with torrential rain. It doesn't take a really great brain.
To see another wave brought on. By those who continue to create full alarms.
We made minimum wage, no perks and few raises. Withholdings and "buy ins" and so many "phases".
Medical Care, Retirement and more. Never received if you "walk out the door".
So how do we live in the world YOU create? Believing we deserve to put dirt to eat on our plate?
Run Away Inflation we can't even chase. Always running to try to keep pace.
We laugh and we cry, we walk and we pace. It's not where you stand, it's where you face.
Tomorrow we'll listen and maybe we'll learn. It's not the money we make, it's the lessons we learn.
