Criminals
A Poem
There’s criminals that wear masks
And criminals with guns
But if you ask
Who does the most damage
It’s the criminals in suits and ties
That kill us with their lies
They delay progress in the name of profits
They deny responsibility for what they have done
Shielded in the vestiges of corporate plot armor
They defend against all claims
Seeking to deflect the blame
Never realizing they are the same
Oligarchs, lords, dukes, and CEOs
All heroes in their own mind
But time will not look upon them well
For putting us in hell

Absolute truth!
This hits home ❤️ corporate bigwigs have got to be some of the most detached people out there.
Atomic Historian, this got me thinking and I wrote a similar poem. I hope that does not bother you. If so I’ll delete it. Your poem says the simple truth on which I expounded. For that, I thank you. https://shopping-feedback.today/stories/c-e-o%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/a%3E%3C/p%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3Cdiv class="css-w4qknv-Replies">
#truthbomb Well spoken
Truth in advertising my friend. The love of money is the root of all evil. 😉
