The Protester
He was hunched over his Sony laptop
and Walmart writing pad
reaching for a Marlboro cigarette
he’ll light with his Bic
and then write with one too
venomous words against corporate greed
and with his other hand he adjusts
his Nike tennis shoe
then grabs his Verizon cell phone
and orders five Pizza Hut pizzas
for his fellow protesters.
Boycott
From the corporation’s point of view the 99% is just throwing a big party
but if the 99% starts talking boycott it will get the corporation’s attention.
But of course,
who’s willing to give up all these marvelous technological wonders?
I am 99% fed up with the 99%.
We bailed them out.
They used it all up
and then charged us
a debit card fee
for that’s the way
they thank us
for our generosity
and we say,
“you’re welcome”
and go ahead and pay.
If you think a corporation is greedy then just stop buying it's product.
Duh!
When you buy the product you feed the greed.

Amen! It's rather ironic to see them texting on their blackberries while they diss corporate America, isn't it.
ReplyDeleteYes I agree. Seems very contradictive and hypocritical to me. They don't seem to understand you can't buy a Big Mac and use the crapper one minute then go out and hate them the next minute for being greedy. They don't seem to see their part in the greed.
ReplyDeleteYes, you'd never see me protesting Apple ... ;).
