Das Kapital? Poem by Tom Higgins

Das Kapital?



From the start let's get this clear,
Just to be sure there can never be,
Any misunderstanding between you and me.
I do not care a single jot about you,
Or for anything you would ever hope to do.
I do not care about any other,
I don't even care about my father or mother,
And I don't care for my sisters or brother.
I care only about ME!

I am the one life was created for,
I've heard the preachers, and I know the score,
It is written that I should have it all,
Whilst most of the others are excluded from the ball.
Yes, me, me, me! It's the only way,
For the world to function in this modern day.
How else could things ever be made to work?
If those with nothing are ever allowed to shirk,
Their responsibility to ensure that I,
Remain as top cat, the number one guy.
