The Church Of Cash

You can become a billionaire if you work hard enough
That’s what billionaires preach to poor folks whose lives are so rough
Because unlike rich preachers who inherited their cash
The poor have no trust funds leaving them billions they can flash
Capitalism as religion in our land was born
When members of the church of cash first heaped on poor folks scorn.

They say you’ll be a billionaire if you’re not downright lazy
And working extra hours for free you don’t see as crazy
When it’s expected by your boss to keep his bottom line
In the black by heaping upon your back overtime
But if not issued gold bootstraps and silver spoon at birth
No amount of free overtime increase the poor’s net worth.

Billionaires or democracy can no longer together
Exist mutually and coming election weather
May end what opportunity for all once was prevailing
Long ago before it encountered MAGA derailing
By trust-fund bastards who trickle-down promises still make
That overtime work for no pay will let the poor eat cake.

We can have either billionaires or democracy. Not both. https://flip.it/dlZb7
