Lack Of Empathy In The Human Race

By John Kaniecki

Masses of drones marching in suit and tie

A wave of arrogance washing by

Never mind the poor strung out vet

That is someone else’s regret

A soldier of misfortune

War for oil and spoil was the popular tune

When he returned

He quickly learned

The hate of the state

As Wall Street executives

Feel privileges

To take and never give

Is how they live

And empathy is void

Certainly none for the nations they have destroyed

Pull yourself up by your bootstraps

But when we organize

And refute their lies

Out comes the gun

And the cowboy kills the Indian

In perfect Sioux slaughter

The agony of Wounded Knee

But for a dollar and a quarter

You can buy a coffee

But for the veteran who has the cardboard sign

I’ll work for food he does declare

He don’t even get a prayer

Let alone a dime

Capitalism is a crime

And the government criminal

It isn’t even subliminal

It is Earth’s greatest disgrace
