Capitalismas Def: Holiday created by capitalists who appropriated multiple pagan and indigenous celebrations and "changed" the birthdate of a revolutionary who cared for gente pobre (Jesus Christ) all in pursuit of consumer-based profits
Twas' the night before capitalistmas
And all thru the house
not a product was stirring
not a PC nor its mouse
The children were nestled
all snug in their beds –
while visions of corporate-fueled gang violence
covert army videos and fetishized
females
danced in their head
Mama slathered
in the newest skin rejuvenation
cream to be competitive in the gender wars
and Papa dreaming of the an on-line date
he just might score
When out on the lawn
there arose such a clatter –
the family sprung from the bed to see what was
the matter –
it was the marshal to deliver a summons to take
back their title and render them homeless cause
since dad had lost his job - they couldn't keep up
the payments
As the marshal gave the family one last kick and
a push they were secure in knowing it was all
cause of Citigroup, BofA, AIG and their rich
corporate friends
Warm and cosy all tucked in their beds
dreaming of the rich getting richer, the poor left
for dead….
