day FOUR HUNDRED and FORTY ONE


oligarchs

oligarchs
don’t care

they’ll shoot your kids
and drink their blood

they’ll eat your house
your car
your family

they’ll turn your happiness into chum

and spit it
into the mouths of their overlords

oligarchs
don’t want democracy

they want that secret payout
they want their wealth secure

rich assholes
with the individual desire to live
above the law

oligarchs
will vomit patriotism
and then they’ll stab you in the back

oligarchs
think they’re better than you
and most of the time
we act so dumb

goddamn it
they might be right.
