Visiting Morning Capitalist Coffee Logic Poem by Terence George Craddock

waking up to visit the American dream
to see who gets a slice of American pie
do workers at Starbucks get only crumbs
while Starbucks CEO steals huge slices?

it is 2015 Starbucks CEO proud stands
in front of Starbucks Mermaid Logo
wearing boss white shirt tie suit jacket
capitalized words proclaim wage policy?

STARBUCKS CEO SAYS $15/HR
MINIMUM WAGE IS TOO HIGH...
is this unethical greedy pig pirate serious
this rat ceo MAKES $9,600/ HOUR.

is the Starbucks CEO who makes $9,600
dollars an hour sane claiming his workers
minimum wage should be less than $15
fifteen dollars an hour for sweat loyalty?

is the Starbucks CEO just another greedy
pig on scum list stealing worker productivity?
time a few more Americans and the world
wake up realize American Dream is stolen

mammoth wealth that cannot be spent
in dozens of comfortable normal lifetimes
purchased on backs of poverty oppression
is not an american dream it is a nightmare...

who will human have pity on plight poor workers?

Starbucks CEO thinks like a medieval robber baron
wants workers to work for $12/HR $6/HR or food scraps?

hopefully workers in America are now getting
a fair deal from corporations and companies...

happy healthy workers a happier society happiness shared...
