Worthless

i have never believed
that there was any such thing
as a worthless human being...

yet you keep standing
on the platform
that it's better
to take from the
poor, the sick, the elderly,
the minorities...

to cut social security,
medicare, and
educational benefits
from our children...

in order to protect
the elite, the filthy rich
from being taxed at all...

and you call this fairness...
democracy in action!

your blatent unfeeling arrogance
is making me question
my beliefs!
