Corporations And People Poem by Cody Marks

Corporations And People

Rating: 3.0


When is it that the bottom line
Became ever so important
More than the people
Who allow it to be possible

We fight each other on roads
To travel to places
And work for people
Who do not care about us

When we have scars on our neck
They finish the choking
When we are yet weary
They only ask for more

We are not machines designed
To run without stopping
We labor valiantly
And sometimes seek rest

We get the blame othertimes
They always get the money
We get to be sick too
While they get to be rich

We sell our labors daily
Climbing over others repeatedly
To get another piece of scrap
And forgot to keep each other

I wrote this after witnessing how people will act for money and how corporations will at times demean their workers or treat them like machines.
