empty are the talking heads

empty are the talking heads

A Poem by delapruch

empty

empty

empty

are the talking heads

shouting at the masses---

“if you’re working, you

shouldn’t be poor in america,”

says mr. hope & change,

yet how many of us are working

for less than what the rest of the

west pays their workers?

 

mr. $200-$250 million net worth

tells us that the wage we get paid

should change as to the rate of

inflation & yet

since 1968, with the rise escalating,

we should be receiving over $10.00 an hr

vs. the $7.25 that we get now---

anyone remember when he was running

for governor of Massachusetts &

he spoke of needing to raise the minimum

wage, only to veto the bill proposed to

him concerning the issue,

after he’d been elected?

 

empty

empty

empty

are the talking heads.
