Those who are uninformed often irritate me

their voices like nails scratching a chalkboard.

Their lack of sympathy seems to be the key

as to why their ignorance strikes a chord.

The truth is out there, but one must be willing

to read a book, newspapers or even the internet

for one to uncover the facts behind all the killing

made to safeguard everyone’s ever-growing debt.

Lives are destroyed and yet the fraud goes on

as families are bankrupted, tossed out of homes.

To those fat cats we’re all just collateral, a pawn

that fattens their pockets as they rest on thrones.

Countless crooks walk free as they’re too big to fail

never paying for their crimes; not a single day in jail.
