Of Black Suits and Businesspeople
January 3, 2021
What happened?
What happened to something that somebody needed being their issue?
When did that change?
No longer can you just get your basic needs.
A roll of bread is no longer negotiated over with words.
That’s just simply not how it works anymore.
That one roll of bread.
It is fought over with fire, guns.
Briefcases of money and deals;
Deals made by men and women in black suits and ties and dresses.
And who does that roll of bread go to?
Not me
Not you
Those who need it the least.
Those who could not care less.
And yet millions starve on the streets
while millions of rolls just like that one
End up in the hands of the fat cats
And the cycle continues.
What happened?

I'm Jack McCall and a couple of things I enjoy are biking, taking care of my ferrets, and writing creative and nonfiction articles. I love to write poetry...
