The Poor Get More Poor
richer citizens accumulate wealth increasingly
we bend the data to
show that the poor are
more well off than they
were last year but to
them they are more poor
magnates accrue wealth feverishly, capital
chases after capital, means rises
the poor get pay cuts
and pay more for rent
each year, the poor fall
down a deep, deep hole
calculating backward, wealthy citizens suffered
smaller wealth during medieval times
enduring these relative hardships bravely
poor folk fall to hell
as you can see when
you see them not data
elite financiers suffer intermittent decelerated
acceleration, likewise spending frequently outpaces
income causing turbulence while wealthy
investors ascend sleepily heavenward regardless
the poor get more poor
