Corporate Stranglehold

How can we stop the infinite corporate greed
and the destruction that the dollar digging causes
to help those who are suffering and in real need
from what wealth in the hands of the few causes

speak for the species lost and those on the brink
people lost in vanity, ego-fed, materialistic
zombies asleep, who themselves would rather not think
about whats truly important and be realistic

what will it take to end this growing illusion
who will be silenced if they take this stand
I wish that there could be a better conclusion
as time turns the truth in the mortal man

I think it can vary where you live, so maybe our choice is to move like some have....where only nature is the outlook....though that comes with the problem of survival......which started the circle......niahcomfort sad flower
