the murder coming

those who have money,

bubbling in the belly of the beast,

make it their point to inform the

rest of us,

that if we haven’t started putting

money away for our “retirement,”

then we are fucked---

as if there will ever be a

“retirement,”

as if there will ever be money to

save &

we can look at our paychecks every week

to see the funds stolen from us

to be paid out to “social security”---

yes,

we are that lucky, to know that money is

taken from us that could be saved

as the vultures say, to

“help us when we are older,”

as if any of us expect to live that long.

 

no,

we are waiting for the murder coming,

you know,

the one when you get sick in america

& you don’t have health insurance,

so that you cannot get well,

pure & simple.

 

whether you believe that approximately

tens of thousands of people in america

have died in the past few years, due to

a lack of healthcare, or whether you believe

that 72 americans die each day

because this country refuses to provide for

its citizens,

or whether you believe that it actually comes down

to one person dying

every

twelve

minutes

the fact remains that

“For any doctor... it's completely a no-brainer

that people who can't get health care are going to

die more from the kinds of things that health care

is supposed to prevent”---

so sayeth Dr. Woolhandler.

 

you & i

are waiting for the murder coming,

living in this empire without the ability to

get the services needed,

when sickness & death begin to tap dance

around us

&

mr. hope & change is not going to do anything

but pour fuel on the fire,

by forcing the people of this empire

to buy healthcare from the very scumfucks

that are killing it.
