good jobs

Post by saw » July 17th, 2011, 11:24 am

selling crack in the hood
is more than viable employment
it's the biggest show on earth
in the district of the abandoned

who gives a flying fuck
if another young black male kills
another young black male
the scourge is taking care of itself

one less soul in the wipe-out
on ghetto beach by indifferent umpires
it's really a tough call
choosing an option

death in the hood
death in the joint
death to gangstas
death to masters

or one can escape it all
on the mickey-d train
if'n you can get back and forth
to work in one piece that is

" hey, did you hear the news brother?"

"what's that?"

" they're building a brand new body bag factory right down on the corner !"

" no shit man, finally some good fucking jobs!"
the death of empathy is the birth of barbarism

and as the band "war" pointed out forty years ago,
the world is a ghetto...
