A Poem by Alex

We are the 99%

The ones who cannot make the rent 

 


The ones who end in shallow graves

For every drop of Oil you save

 

 
We are the ones  whose Farms you closed 

The woman sleeping in the cold 

 


The man who can't afford his pills 

The child starved as pockets fill 

 


We are the forests you have burned 

The Billion Tears your Millions earned

 


We are the nameless you have killed 

The Species lost to feed your will

 


We are not  dumb , no longer Meek 

We re-claim Fate as well as Speech 

 


A mere breeze now our movement is 

but gaining strength and will to live

 

 
As one we stand igniting spark 

As we poor light into the dark
