“do more for less”
says the big red, white and blue
or the new shade of green for money
workers forced to live
in cement buildings
paying rent for a bucket and a bowl
no vacation, no day of rest
7 days a week is the slave trade
But that’s on the other side
of the water
here, where the flag flies
no full-time
no benefits
dragging towns into economic wastelands
for do more for less
do more for less
they do more work, more labor
for less pay, less insurance
less money for rent
less food
for their baby’s belly
distended for the bottom line.
Stockholders
do you sleep at night?
