Healthcare beware
I don't want to go there
CEOs reaching out
Whats that all about
Grabbing for cash
filling their stash
while I'm over here
picking from the trash
Living in a canvas tent
can't even pay the rent
The cost of selling my soul
To the corporate Black hole
Living in a tiny house
Like I am a fucking Mouse
But I am a queen
Escaping The Machine
Daring to dream

=========================
This poem is by an up and coming local poet with a
trenchant, evocative voice. We in the
USA do not have a right to healthcare.
We have to earn a visit to the doctor by paying cash. The price has
gone up and up, all my life, as the country has become more and more corrupt,
the wealthy hogging more and more of the pie.
The wealth distribution curve in America is that of a 'third world'
dictatorship. If you get cancer in this
country, it is not uncommon to lose your house, your home, everything, to pay
for treatments. The whole system is
rotten with greed. And the fish rots
from the head.
