Capitalism U S A Poem by jerry hughes

Capitalism U S A



Inept, deceitful, tainted and rotten.
Exploitation to the nth degree.
An amalgam of hispanics, asians,
coloureds, and post-war eastern-bloc
emigres scrambling for recognition in
a system where the wealthy get wealthier;
As shattered dreams of expectation fall
by the way side.

Jerry, a wonderful exposition. If this is capitalism, the intellectualism of the USSR was not much different. Nature is red in tooth and claw everywhere. So long as the weaker doesn't rise in spirit like Obama, there is no deliverance.
