X Marks the Spot
Prices are
rising, real wages falling,
The climate’s
becoming overheated,
Public
protests gradually deleted,
While the
death toll of warfare’s appalling.
Politicians
maintain the status quo
If possible,
at least that’s their intent,
No matter
which party they represent,
Just so long
as capital’s profits flow.
‘Spurn the
ballot box!’ some radicals say,
‘It only
lets the government get in.’
But power is
there for people to win
Through
choosing real change come election day.
On the map
to the future everyone’s got
Look
carefully for where X marks the spot.
