they came for everything


they came for everything
one day it all went away
i'm still looking for my pride.

one day out in the fields
a man who broke his back
carrying the weight of another
said he'd had enough.

the same day
another man who laid on his back
living on the fruits of others' labor
decided he wanted more.

those who expect everything
from those who already have nothing
and who work for a debt they can't pay
find new ways of squeezing blood from stones.

a business exists to make more money
than it spends.
