for scraps from the CORPSE-poration's table,
bearing the burden of unpardonable sin,
our homegrown, American scapegoats.
And treating the poor as if this is their fault
hides the fact it is America's decision,
to absolve the criminal perpetrator
and blame the sin-eating victim.
So you'll never see a T-shirt that says
"Poor and Proud in the U.S.A."
because in the United States of America
the P.I.A. are M.I.A.
