Another American Civil War Poem by Gregory Huyette

The rich are becoming richer than ever before
As the middle class is left expiring in its own gore.

Each day prices rise as people's confidence falls,
But wealthy are too busy to hear their desperate calls.

Rich are counting all the new money they're gaining
And can't believe that there's anyone complaining.

Like Medieval Times they live in castles behind walls,
Shielding them from the increasingly frantic calls.

As with their ancestors greed is the order of the day.
They have no interest in a poorer class with little say.

Only when downtrodden rise and demand their rights
Will walls fall and rich feel the pain of people's plights.

History is replete with middles classes becoming poor
Until they refuse to be ruled by the rich and declare war!
