Railing against the imbalance – v3

They are railing against the imbalance
in the widening gap in income, of wealth
the structural calamity  building
in the haves and have nots

They are railing against the imbalance
the widening gap of our people
too few finding the Dream fulfilled
the rest struggling to eat

They are railing against the imbalance
the harm to our economy
the cancer growing on the body
on the soul of our nation

They are railing against the imbalance
the harm to our sense of community
too few in the top, the upper tier,
and the shrinking middle class
