The Forty Ninth, Feb. 18, 2011

say farewell to the middle class
as government focuses on greed
bows further to business desires
and ignores the ones that vote

too long have we remained silent
letting the interest set the path
now the answer is coming
be rich and in charge or poor

Protests in the Middle East
crying out for a change
are echoed now in Wisconsin
as they seek to take away rights

keep the tax breaks for business
and take away all from the poor
let the trickle down economy go
and see what puddles at the bottom

how much longer will this continue
before the people here find a square
and set up our own little camp sites
seeking to take back our land?

Two parties fight and they bicker
too content to blame the other
no one is listening any longer
to the voices that cry out in shame

We the people don't matter today
only the money has a voice
I would like to buy a majority
and tell them to fire themselves
