These Times

greed capitalism occupy

These are evil times

They said

But little do they know

Its not the ticking clock

That’s bad

It’s the evil that we sow

Many years have past

Once more

Since revolution loomed

And wiped the country clean

Of men

Who sold us our own doom

We bought expensive coats

Of dreams

We purchased empty boxes

Sold to us by grinning

Jesters

And sneaky thieving foxes!
