Vultures
It’s
something extra awful
When
you can’t even figure out
Who’s
lying to you anymore.
And
you can’t even catch
A
break to straighten out
Your
own head.
They’ll
use you up until
There’s
nothing left to squeeze,
And
then pick at the carcass
Until
all that is left
Is
your bones.
And
then, then
They
will find some use
For
those too.
I
once read that the poor class
Has
consistently throughout history
Liked
to drink and fuck
For
recreation. Squandering
Their
pennies for cheap thrills
And
keeping themselves down.
We
drink to numb the pain
You
have pushed on our bodies.
We
drink because it is sometimes
The
only way we can wake up
In
the morning
And
bring ourselves to serve you
Once
more.
Smoke
your cigars and poke and prod
And
make fun of us all you’d like.
There’s
no pride left to hurt anyway.
Nothing
behind our eyes but sadness.
And
for fucking?
Well, even us poor need to have fun once in a while…
