Burden
Shannon Nelson
Die, die, you cripple!
How dare you be a burden on our system?
How dare you collect benefits that you and others paid into?
Die.
Social security is not a hand out!
It’s not welfare or a gift.
It’s earned benefits.
Die.
There’s no “we the people” in a system
That oppresses the most vulnerable.
“The greatest country in the world” wants perpetual war,
While invading sovereign countries,
Proclaiming to bring democracy
We all know that’s just a lie.
Die.
While the disabled and poor
Are struggling to stay alive
In this fascist country that has lost its soul,
While the 1% gets tax breaks
And lives a life of excess.
Die,
Die, you burden.
