THE NATIONAL CAKE (a Poem On Corruption) by zephry(m): 4:59am On Jun 16, 2018 |
THE NATIONAL CAKE We all want a piece of it The National cake North, south, east, west We hover hungrily With our giant knives We cut with reckless abandon The National cake It screams out in agony The desolation of the land It's all part of our cake Honey tongues of aristocrats Strip the sugar off the souls Poor proles Never getting a taste The National cake Baked in an oven of mass anguish Eaten on cooperate tables We it eat for your sakes is what they tell us But emaciated ribs roam the pass Yet we carry on The National cake Shall one day dwindle Honey tongued aristocrats scattered As chaff to the wind Bakers bake no more Monopoly taken away Then shall the nation die |
