Philosophy Of The Common People


LETTER TO
FORD MOTOR COMPANY



                 Though those in charge of our nation’s corporations

                 Seem to be forever in the job elimination business

                 They themselves continue to collect a fat company check

                 Their grotesque salaries aren’t shy even a few cents

                 And though Jerry Kid’s continue to endure much pain

                 And homeless war veterans lie in Washington’s street

                 It would seem our fat representatives of Capitol Hill

                 Continue to have a little more than just enough to eat

                 And though state education boards’ blind presidents

                 Are forever begging us to vote to raise our own taxes

                 When they cut education funding for handicapped children

                 Their own wages somehow escape the pruning axes

                 So here’s to a unanimous vote from we the people

                 Coming from the poor and common people’s page

                 Until they figure out how we can have the bare basics

                 Let the bastard’s all earn minimum wage!
