Chapter Text

i saw the UHC president get shot
by a guy who rode his bike into Central Park

even the police cheered
but the rich still leered
and i wondered:

why didn’t it happen sooner?

the rich have been getting richer
since the day i was born
why is it only now
that our hero sees dawn?

our very own Robin Hood
stealing life from the rich to gift to the poor

 

the bourgeoise
want us down on our knees
so our leaders preach peace

but they leave us no way but violence

they think it’s a way to buy our silence

they think we are rats in the gutter
but we will rise above even if it’s murder we must utter

we’ll continue to fight
to triumph against the might

of the rich and powerful
causing this country’s blight

Notes:

I wrote this after the UHC president got shot in New York and the overall public sentiment made me think about the current state of the world.

This is my first time posting my writing online so I hope you guys enjoy!
