Capitalism

Sit down, relax and please don’t worry
so bloody what if you have no money!
Riches are the things that can not be bought
like kindness of the soul, you ignorant sort!
Slaving away for higher monetary gain
whilst ignoring the people that we put in pain.
That life is not one that I would choose to live
unless forced by expectations that others give.
Capitalist society is the root of all bad
People live for money – it’s just bloody mad!
Let’s just pretend that this is all more tall tales
as we buy more useless stuff from the January sales.
