People are bought and sold
like opinions and News
and it doesn't matter anyway
because hotels are built underwater
for the lifestyles of the rich and infamous
as we all work to afford
the gas that will take us to work tomorrow
when it will be the same
as the day she let them eat cake.
So maybe we get back to the roots
of the nation,
roots that were ripped up with Manifest Destiny.
And maybe we hold hands,
dance a rain dance
to cultivate the garden we see
to feed the neighbors we know.
Indeed, let them eat.
