The Game

Underpaid, overworked –
Demand a raise, watch them smirk;

Overdraft Exceeded

Pay it forward
Till the balance is backwards.

The past has not passed;
With present danger does it lurk.

Market your misery,
Profit from pain.

‘Donate and save lives’ our celebrities say;
Utter contempt on sickening display.

Stimulate growth;
Simulate power.

Trapped into what we’re worth,
By the simple act of birth

Sale, it screams; this liars’ pyre.
This beacon belies what we truly desire.
