It must be nice having enough money
Not to trouble yourself with the health care of others,
To have such high ideals enabling you to ignore
Those who fail to live up to them.
There is, after all, that famous saying
About it being equally illegal for a rich man
To steal a loaf of bread as a poor man.
It isn’t your fault which side of the equation
You think your righteousness
Gives you the right to live on,
To dispense your moral authority from.
In a land claiming all men are created equally,
Where it becomes ever more apparent
Some are more equal than others,
History will repeat itself
And you and yours
Will get to see how nice it is
On the other side of the tracks.
