Money Slaves

People walking down the street

minding their own bussiness as they go by

each footstep closer to their daily routine

...the marching soldiers in suit and tie

Colorless, smoking executives

ruining lives, big time trader

they take the best of you

...and get away with murder

Money drives men crazy

numbly we rush for more

humilliating ourselves for them

...but not me, not anymore

Great write! So very true!!

Nice poem, it really is a sad truth. But with some big businesses *cough* Apple *cough* will actually bend laws such as freedom of speech and freedom of the press in order to get ahead in the business world.
Not to mention the soldiers comment is kind of a double bladed sword in the metaphorical as well as the literal. sure the businessmen are like soldiers but most large corporations actually have privet military forces... its scary

Yes your words are true. Big business is controlling the USA. Money make men forget the people who do the work and create the opportunities for them. A powerful poem with a very good ending.

BRAVO!~ you cut that tether they bind or try to bind us with with a sharp edge~
I share your perception of these particular brand of suits whose only interest is making the big bucks much to the detriment of the word and her humanity~they are the only ones who benefit~
