what would you do with one million dollars?

the new american dream
is constituted on taxable
earned winnings, a lottery,
that is to say,
no longer is this the land of opportunity,
it's all up to chance
and unattainable numbers.

this is the true cost of living:
pocketed by the same men we entrust
to store our goods, educate our children,
they leave the poor to die in our streets,
and we boycott, and we protest
but we'll pull on an udder
if it's offered.
