We have so much cash
Send a Rover to Mars
Satellites and rockets
All the way to the stars
Spend millions on bombs
Bullets and guns
War is a profit
Killing fathers and sons
With billionaires bloated
Greased political palms
Then church on a sunday
Reading the psalms
And people are starving
No food in their belly
Bored with it now
Lets turn on the telly
Homeless in doorways
Throw money in a cup
Conscience is cleared
Keep your chin up
The Food banks are thriving
Business is good
No bail out needed
Receive a knighthood
We’re slaves to a system
That’s broken and bent
Crooks rule the land
Our money stolen and spent
But maybe one day
We’ll rise up as one
Poor eats the rich
Till the feeding is done.
Life is a rusty rollercoaster

Wow, Vinny, thank you sir for speaking the truth. This **** really makes me mad, it’s such a waste of money and clearly shows how screwed up our priorities are on planet Earth.

Great poem Vinny! I often think what a great world it would be if all the money spent on weaponry was put into medical research or farming!
BTW your name features in a poem I am posting today.

Your government and ours have their priorities seriously screwed up! ‘Tis the same here … we can afford billions of dollars to send a spaceship to Mars … for no good reason at all … but we have not raised the minimum wage in over 12 years and cannot manage healthcare for all. Sigh. Great poem, by the way!

I can so relate. Where I live in the Tech giants like google and Facebook , excess and massive is standing next to homeless and nothingness. It’s sad and sickening because people and leaders accepted it as normal. The disparity of the rich, poor and middle income in the U.S. has been alarming widening and allowed without control. We can’t blame the pandemic for something that started long before it. It’s people doing the same or worse things again and again.

I agree and it’s very much the same here and getting worse. So much greed around it’s terrible. Makes me so angry! I hope one day things will change but can’t see it to be honest. We need a revolution!
