Comfortably well Off
Do you know what your money is doing
While you sleep comfortably in your bed.
Moralistically right, idealistically green,
You think that your whiteness
makes it okay to make others work for
The gray days of your life, (that motivates your 9-5),
your pension fund.
In between grasps for air, you do not dream of the Chinese boy,
The Indonesian girl who rise at dawn
for their 12 hours in the machine room or the sweat shop,
for you.
Or of the millions of gallons of poison,
that flows into a foreign river,
hidden and coded as "accidental discharge".
No guilt in what You don't know.
Just a dividend, a Dow Jones index
Another figure on your tax return.
