Exploitation Of Poor People

Exploitation Of Poor People

Tired of being constrained by official laws 
that prevent exploitation of poor people, 
King Midas leads army of greedy thugs 
to fire thousands of people from good jobs 
who wander cast out from their family homes 
stolen through legal tricks in court of law. 

Saint George rides white horse into Gotham City, 
asking pedestrians to point the way 
to where monstrous dragon of angry greed, 
driven by fear Fortune favors him not, 
devours hands of poor people to control 
land he confiscates through legal warfare. 

The Rifleman stands alert in the street 
in small prairie town on the windy plain, 
and tells the woman with basket of pears 
that when the people of the country stop 
paying attention to how affairs are run 
they will lose their justice and liberty. 

After dancing on the tightrope of faith 
over abyss of vital hope for wisdom 
to overcome the weakness of his fear, 
Superman looks inward with laser eyes 
to plot how societies develop morals 
so he can control fate with his will to power. 

Calculating steps of development 
in progressive course from cause and effect 
which advance phases of expansive growth, 
Hamlet ponders to be or not to be 
assertive force of change for equal rights 
he hopes will transform world society. 

Holding high lamp of freedom glowing bright, 
Diogenes searches maze of the world 
for the honest man with strong moral compass 
enlightened enough to manage with calm 
global Ship of State he navigates safe 
through icebergs of fascist nationalism. 

Wielding hammer of constructive respect, 
Thor builds houses with kitchens and bedrooms 
where poor people may dwell in world peace 
to shape habitat for humanity 
till Pluto destroys those houses with bombs 
as he grasps to control material wealth. 

With fierce infection of impiety 
by painting his face with false mask of strength, 
the Mad King bankrupts Nature with his greed 
in clutching at grand illusion of wealth 
with small hands that symbolize his weak state, 
gibbering in rage that he has lost the game.

  1. Orpheus arrests King Midas and Pluto, tries them for treason under the Angel Rede, imprisons them in Azkaban Prison, then attends the World Cup Soccer Tournament.
