#Capitalism is not #Christian – v2

The most for our shareholders,
short-term profit at all cost,
standing on our neighbors
not caring for the outcomes
the pain in other places
focused only on the immediate,
on lining our own pockets.
 
Capitalism is not Christian
taking, gathering, profiteering,
creating wealth for its own sake
maximizing for ourselves
silos full, barns overflowing,
standing on our neighbors
the garden polluted, raped
plundered for short-term profit.
