Baal Out (Gangster Oligarchy)

© 26 October 2011, the Griot Poet

Children sacrificed
In “cremations of care” through
Moloch’s outstretched arms.

One percent increase
Two-hundred seventy-five,
Ninety-niners flat-line…

Jobs created go
To the children of Baal, or
Global slave labor…

Democracy to
Thrive beyond Thermopylae
Youth does it favor!
