Such
as it is, the middle class clings
to
splintering rungs on a teetering ladder,
trying
to rise by pulling. . .strings
with the people who actually matter.
The
rungs below are covered in “slime”:
exotics of various races,
immigrants,
poor, “committers of crime”,
conniving full time to replace us.
Meantime,
at the top of the heap,
the
one-percent puppetry masters
keep a few shepherds to keep the sheep
from
banding together. Think of the disaster
if non-upper classes
in concert making things “fair”,
were to imagine that wee teaming masses,
could better allocate everyone's share,
instead
of letting our “betters” decide
who
has to walk, who gets a free ride.
Relax,
relax, hold your outraged remarks.
I
am not advocating anything Marxist.
I
jest, I confess, I know we are blessed
to
live in a land where you wealthy know best.
While we
are stressed, we are not oppressed.
If allowed to remain almost middle class,
we will continue kissing your ass.
