A POEM BY ONE OF OUR SUPPORTERS

THE CAGE OF UNETHICITY

Daniel North, UK

You should really by now

Be getting the message

To stop violating civil liberty

And putting human rights in a cage.

But instead you repeat the same old evils

Again and again

Chasing money no matter whom it hurts

By placing people’s futures firmly down the drain.

Because you keep on ignoring, discarding the facts

Anyway I thought the risks of smoking were clear..?!

But you still blank out all what Altria has caused

Hoping that in time the truth will eventually smear.

Also rather than helping

You encourage the crippling of the Burmese

Destroying employment and allowing the slave trade

Watching on as economies crumble around their knees.

So please don’t buy any more of their WB bonds

As we will no longer be taken for a fool

In hope that they learn from the errors of their ways

So that the TIAA-CREF will become a lot more ethical.
