I Stand For The Middle Class!

I stand for the middle class!
The brainwashed, working force,...
That those in power put aside
Like a spouse in a divorce....

I stare at my life everyday,
With heartache and in tears,..
The middle class in which I live
Shrinks slowly with my years,...
The ultra-rich and the super-poor,..
Their ranks daily increase,…
Each day more taxes pay for war,...
Each day,... A bit less peace.
Each day,...
More soldier's blood is shed,..
Each day,...
More children die,..
From war, starvation or disease
Each day,..
More mother's cry

I stand for the middle class!
The brainwashed, working force,...
That those in power put aside
Like a spouse in a divorce
