It Must Be Nice

It must be nice not to give a shit:

that your government was overthrown
by a series of political assassinations;

that fat cats on Wall Street and in banks
make millions from fraudulent schemes
and avoid jail even when caught
while some poor addict with no money
for a lawyer gets a maximum sentence;

that CE0s who screw up big time
get lucrative severance packages
while some worker with 19 years on
the job gets the ax called downsizing;

that some unlucky dude spends
15 years in prison before DNA proves
him innocent, which is not your problem;

that you've become a modern Candide
and don't even give a fuck you have
no idea who this is.

It must be so nice not to give a shit
that sometimes I almost wish
I was you - before I come to my senses.
