crimes table

(a love note to jeff bezos)

Raise your hand if you have less than you need!
Come step into truth that makes eyes bleed
Raise your hand if you have just what you need
An enviable state, may we be agreed?
Raise your hand if you have twice your need
Perhaps pragmatism you now exceed?
Raise your hand if you have ten times your need
Ethically embarrassing, can't you concede?
Raise your hand if you have a hundred times your need
Oh how deep are the depths of greed?
Raise your hand if you have a thousand times your need
Humynity's healing you implacably impede
Raise your hand if you have a million times your need
while we cry, die, suffer, and plead
The poor are powerless to proceed
Tain't no god to intercede
Mass murder no minor misdeed
You imperil your imperative to breathe and breed
