Slaves
Moving slaves free
Free from ensnare vile
Malicious chains
Dragging along chains
Catching themselves
Proclaiming freedom
Working hard only
Enriching their boss
Governments take
Banks take and take
Blind to the loopholes
Education is the key
Not financial education is
Tool to break the ceiling
Look with minds not eyes
Eyes blind to fear and greed
Fear of unemployment
Avarice of property the
Common path listen common
Man read financial education
Take the fast route not the rat route
About this poem
We are slaves to government, cooperations ,fate and ourselves.
