a nation of increasing unemployment,
severely increasing debt & corporate
greed that does not respect its employees,
treating them like disposable
cogs (to be squeezed for every drop of
blood until dead inside & then cast out
onto the sidewalk).

+

a culture of violence.

+

a ready available
.45 caliber shotgun
&
a manhattan street
(fully equipped with piggies
oink oink oinking around &
frothing at the lips with teeth
gnashed for the next chance at
a shootout that will be supported
by the state & paraded in the
mainstream media, creating
“heroes” out of all of them).

=

a dead 41 year old boss at
9:03 am today @ west 33rd
street.

I like the style of your writing but don't agree with your sentiments....re piggies. Yes, the dispute was about greed but what other course of action was open to the police. I agree the working class, of which I am one, have been exploited and under-paid for decades.
