Anemic Capitalism
Communism is a fraud
But anemic capitalism aint no saint
The poor and marginalized
Not counted
Just pawns to be exploited
In the richest empire
Schools are on fire
Let the children out
For the penal system
Is a business
Barely covered
The breast cancer mother
Turned away
And away
From her hospital bed
She has two children
But no health insurance
The reporter said
Communism is a fraud
But anemic capitalism aint no saint
The poor and marginalized
Not counted
Just pawns to be exploited
He worked sixty hours a week
At the factory
Could not make ends meet
Tried to organize
And was fired
Last Friday
