caught in the crosshairs of politicians gain
looking for sunshine
outside dismal rain
thought the breakthrough was the cure
inequality flaunted like open sores
save the rich, evade the poor
so when they suffer
no one knows what for
but we all see it
the fuchsia elephant in the room
the equality the US is lacking
spells economic doom
then boom…
the bubble deflates
poor intentions locked inside golden gates
but it’s too late
mortgage and landlords don’t wait
the bottom fell out the middle
jobs grabbed by disaster’s tipped fate
no backup plan for small business owners
and those starving can’t wait
but here we are are…
caught in the crosshairs of politicians gain
looking for sunshine
outside dismal rain
thought the breakthrough was the cure
corvid revelations spell out a society
without rewards for merit
capitalistic dreams snuffed out
before you shared it
but you keep going
bills ever mounting
stress never showing
that’s what i like about you
the way you show up
and pull through
you have the spirit of a warrior in you
an entrepreneur that oppression grew
