PrecariatA Poem by dillonjensennoun: /pri' ke:riet/ A person whose employment and income are insecure, especially when considered as a class.America is one big f*****g shopping mall. Everywhere you go it's buy this or buy that. If you want to keep people in a certain class, You mass produce s**t they don't need, But they can certainly afford it, yes. And so advertising clings on to that premise, Detailing how improved your life will be for Three easy payments of $99.99. All the while the rich get richer, The poor get poorer, And the middle doesn't move an inch. Don't get me wrong, I love this country And all the freedoms And opportunities we are afforded, But wake the f**k up. We have been becoming less and less of a Democracy ever since the 50s/60s.
