Hey, Let’s Get Rid Of The Middle Men! Poem by Reginald Walker

Why must there always be middlemen?
The middlemen are constantly standing in the way.
When we make money just to feed our families,
The middlemen take the first part of our pay.

Why do those that do so much of the work?
They are the ones that receive so little of the pay.
All that we are trying to do is just feed our families.
The middlemen are constantly standing in the way.

Why do we have to put up with the middlemen?
Every time we are paid, we give what they demand.
We slave and toil on the modern day plantations,
Just to pay taxes on everything to the middlemen.

Why is it that we cannot afford to live in our homes?
We work hard all the daylong just too barely exist.
The things, we buy are bought for the very lowest price.
When we pay, the middlemen are standing in the midst.

Why don’t we get rid of the dreaded middlemen?
No matter how much we pay them, they want go away.
Then in the hard times like the ones, we are experiencing.
We cannot believe a single word that the middlemen say.

Why do we continue to put up with the middlemen?
Reality is we need to take a stand before it is too late.
The middlemen sold us a bag of imaginary dreams.
The middlemen got bail out; we are left to our own fate.

Really, we should take a stand against the middlemen.
We should stop paying the middlemen; what can they do.
We are the ones to pay the debt on the money that was given.
We, the people, should demand to be included in the bail out, too.
