men in suits
are still meeting
over lunches that
cost more than
two weeks worth
of food
for the hungry
and the
poor.
Oil spreads
while men
in silk pajamas
sleep in hotels
that cost more
than the poor
man's mortgage.
We look to the
sky for answers
but the answers
are here
in our face,
in our view.
No man should
be allowed
to climb so
high on the work
of the masses,
on the work of the
many.
If the salary of
the suits
in all corporate
realms
were invested in
the plans of managing
risks and
retiring the workers
a more
equitable
connection
would be made
with all
the birds,
the workers,
even the
heart of the
executives
who
lie awake
at night now
wondering how to
turn off the
leaking of their
profits into
the sea.
Is this oil to them -
killing wildlife and
ways of life -
or is it only their
investments?
Birds are
dying
this is no
investment
of any
true
worth.
