Diana Darby ** "I V" ** Intravenous

Fuck AT&T

and NES (Nashville Electric),
and all those big ass corporations
that charge $13 for a one-minute phone call.
Or those Drug companies charging $2,000 for a drug that cost them
$50 to manufacture.
Old people have to choose between having a caretaker or being blind.
That’s not right.
It’s just not right.
Those guys sit up in their skyscrapers,
going to their $500 lunches,
flying their private planes
all over the world,
with their fat bonuses,
while poor people are just trying to get by,
just trying to put food on their table
and live on $7 an hour.
It’s not right.
It’s not the black guy robbing the 7-11 we need to worry about
in this country.
It’s these rich (mainly white) motherfuckers.
When the hell are we going to learn we are prosecuting the wrong people?
My father taught me the guy who steals a loaf of bread to feed his family
isn’t half as bad as the guy in the Armani suit embezzling
millions.
And he was right.
I’m sick of it.
Sick of the wealthiest 1% getting all the breaks in this country.
Sick of the Republicans.
Sick of the lies.
Sick of people thinking they have the right to do whatever they want
just because they can.
Man, no wonder people take drugs.
It’s too painful to see.
Too fucking painful to deal with how things really are.
How can anyone begin to believe there is any justice in this world?
Or to teach their children not to steal
when Wild Oats is charging
$12 a pound for pecans?
Oh yeah,
I forgot,
that’s legal.
