Thatcher & Reagan’s Neoliberalism
Was pro “Free Market”-
The Only Snag For The Independant Shopkeeper
Was That The ‘Large Corporation’
Was Much More “Free-er” Than He Was.
So It Continues & Amplifies
40+ Years Later.
& So Our Prices Inflate
& So Our Goods Break More Easily
More Than That Selfishness Spread
Bred & Multiplied
As Easily As A Bully Taunts The Weakened Soul
And Then His Cronies Follow His Darkened Path
And Once Selfishness Took Its Foothold
So Society Decayed Dramatically
Like A Cavity Left & Fed With Soda Pop
Each Tooth Began To Fall Out
Until One Day The Last Tooth Began To Shift
We – The Society Of The 2020’s
Are That Last Wobbling Tooth
& Who Will Save This Tooth?
Who Will Save Us?
Who Will Save Us
From These Spiritual & Literal Starvations?
I’m looking For A Show Of Hands
I Expect Not Many Hands Rose
And That’s Why It’s So Easy
For Society To Decline
To Know This Effect More Personally
To Have It Underlined In Ones Mind
All One Needs To Do
Is Read The Pages Of History
And Look At Your World Again
This Time With Unblinkered Eyes
Hurry Fast Now My Enlightened One
Before All The Best Books
Are All But Burnt Embers
Shadows Of Their Former Selves
Just As We Are
Then & Only Then
Can We Defeat Rampant Neoliberalism
That Ever present Neo-Con-Artist
That Dresses In Sheeps Clothing
