Slippery visions of opulence
caress a tired Wal-Mart worker
as he reaches into stretched pocket
to grasp his too-thin wallet.

Creased pictures of grandchildren
give way to a few folded bills,
soon to be turned into incurable
dreams of college and satisfied loans.

Slanted promises curse bitter airwaves
and drag in life weary souls,
hoping and praying for just a little luck,
somebody will get it, why not me?

"Bring me your tired and weary"
arrives in modern packaging...
as if taxes weren't enough
of a burden on too low wages.

Slippery government touts the promise,
suckers in all of those without,
and builds the highest wall of luck...
leaving the masses hungry for more.
