WWII sent off boys from the farm.
Lucky men came home
Many were heartbroken
Fractured souls & altered minds
Attempted to claim their peace
Of the American dream
Honoring their fallen friends & respect
Back to school they went
Educated now birthed the middle class
But wait! Political interests
Quickly engaged by the bags of money
Force fed by marketing
They can’t take **our** money
Peasants can’t hold status
Wealthy lived in privilege
They didn’t want only their income
Sought to destroy others
How to do so they asked?
Nixon
Reagan- Nom- Icks
Manipulating others to hate Ebonics
Dose them with sugar water
anti-union laws pushed
The poor are lesser humans
Take away their pensions
Less educated masses
Wealth force-fed the regulations
Dumb, deaf or blind 🇺🇸 stayed
Going to church on Sunday
And more loose taxes for the power
But God only knows the hour 😂
Hypocrisy!!!
USA unaware of
Evil pulling the strings.
Peacemakers spoke
As always
Powerfully silenced.
Then the - isms
Keep the pawns fighting amongst theirselves
Religion, class, race and sex
Divided caste chattel is US society
We’ve bought into “freedom” ideology
“Let them eat fast food.”
We ignore or berate those unlike us.
This keeps us constantly wrestling
Inspired by this I saw on Reddit. Wish I had persons name to credit them.
A growing middle class, presented a poltical danger to the interests of the wealthy, it's growth took away from their status and privilege, so it had to be both shrunk and turned against the the lower class.
Nixon started it, Reagan perfected it with anti-union laws, demonizing the poor, slashing pensions, underfunding education and loosing the taxes and regulations on corporations.
Classism, Sexism, Racism and Religion are all used to further seperate working class Americans, who have more in common than not, and to give them someone to focus their anger and blame on, when their own upward mobility stalls; all the while the rich get richer.
