COME POUND INTEREST

i knew a girl
that loved
when i made fun of
capitalism.

i would always say
when anything bad happened
i would say,
i blame capitalism

bad day? run down? kinda stressed?
unhappy? dissatisfied? miserable?
about anything and anything?
blame capitalism.

we had sex like crazy
she said partly cuz i always made fun of capitalism
like a character in her favourite book
and she enjoyed that

turned out her boyfriend
who never satisfied her never made her feel like a woman
never set her free from holding
back never sparked her revolution

had a million dollars in the bank
waiting for him to get older
and even more useless

we fucked like crazy
for a little while but for some people
capitalism
really does ruin
everything.
