We Are All In This Together? ? ? Poem by Tom Higgins

Blessed are the poor,
For they will inherit the Earth,
But not until we've taken more and more,
And got everything with any monetary worth.

We'll leave poverty and all its ills,
With those who never had anything other,
Whilst we live in luxury on top of the hills,
Looking down on the mass of our brothers.

We'll keep paying for military and police heroes,
Yes we need lots of them to keep order,
And to stop all the enemies of the Status Quo,
From ever crossing our border.

This is not a figment of imagination,
This is happening right now,
The total theft of every nation,
Is almost complete, and how!

We don't pay our share of any tax,
We take but never give,
We place the burdens on the backs,
Of the people who happen to live,

In all of the countries where we profit,
A multitude of places around the Earth,
Where we've bought the politics so they're off it,
Though they know what the tax avoidance is worth.

So we've got them to impose austerity measures,
Depriving the people of essential needs,
Taking away the access to the simplest of pleasures,
To ensure we keep feeding our greed.

And now here we sit in one of our castles,
Discussing our great strategic plan,
To ensure we have a world full of serfs and vassals
Maintaining our control over our fellow man!
