Capitalism is a bear
with gnarled claws
and a terrible smile.
Capitalism hides its teeth
when it walks up to you
and grabs your wallet.
Capitalism is everywhere
and there’s plenty of drool
dribbling down its chin.
If you can’t afford to take part,
you better move out of the way
or learn to die when you’re told.
If you don’t, you’ll get eaten
by the bear. You’ll be swallowed up
and spit back into the cruel universe.
