The majority of them have lived their lives, <br />In an isolated racist bubble. <br />Now that their comfort has been marked by troubles... <br />They seek a bailout from their mindless gains. <br />With wishes their selfishness did not exist. <br />Or had not been obvious to others, <br />Who had witnessed this! <br /> <br />While a greed was fed to exploit those in need. <br />Those who now seem much better off. <br />Since they have less blood to bleed... <br />Than those who lived totally on their good credit. <br />And loans the economy... <br />Can no longer assist them in their leeching to feed. <br /> <br />And their misdeeds and deceit... <br />Now chases them in fear! <br />With no escape from this beast! <br />While they swarm the streets... <br />In civil disobedience! <br />Treating them with a taste of defeat! <br /> <br />Completely out of their minds... <br />Come the times for those of selfishness! <br />Protesting that their interests, <br />Has left them in duress! <br />With no fingers to point. <br />As they are kept close to their own chests! <br />In attempts to keep themselves... <br />From losing their precious breath!<br /><br />Lawrence S.
