Conceding they're human, corporate stocks
Avoid taxation like a plague or pox.
They squelch women's natural charity
To men with whom they share a destiny:
It serves the rich when people don't offer
To help the poor from the public coffers.

They keep you in poverty, a debt slave
Fed up, hungry, until you want to rave.
You find it hard not to rationalize,
"It's wrong to give handouts to other guys."
Guns everywhere, if you want them or not,
Keep tensions high whoever fired the shot.
