Gallup Pole

Gallup Pole
The Gallup Pole called me
Asked me if I wanted to do a survey
I said sure
Why the hell not
They took my name
Asked me my age
Informed me the call is recorded
Said its only five questions
Regarding the state of America
Shoot lets do it
There is a ladder
Top rung is Ten
The very best
Bottom rung is one
The worst
Where are you on the ladder?
Shit, I was on six
Just fell down to three
The polite voice
Sorry to hear that
Next question
Where is the economy?
Like rung two, only the rich are getting richer, middle class and well the poor are all but fucked.
Innocent the voice on the other side
My goodness that's bad
Next question
What rung is the credibility of the media?
Shit, that guy fell off and broke his neck That's his skeleton on the ground.
Some more innocence with giggles
That's a one then?
Scratchin my ass
Zero isn't an option, then yeah, a one
On with another question
This one isn't using the ladder scale
What race do you identify with?
Blasting down a list
Its how its asked
What race do you identify with?
Laughing
See, that's whats wrong with this shit.
All these things that separate us
If only the worlds occupants
Would have been born blind.
Then what the hell would be used?
How about this
Is Homo sapiens on that list?
I hear some clicking
No, its not, sorry.
Hmm
How about other?
Laughter
Yes
Excellent
Great, put that down for that!
Keys clankin away
OK, the last question
Using the ladder scale
What rung do you feel the state of the nation is on?
Six and up or down is yet to be seen.
I believe in people
Its the people that decide how it goes
If people keep following
The policy of greed
Its over and violence will follow
Inequality is alive and well
People have the choice to change it
CEO's in corporations
Could start thinking of people
Instead of profits
Profits will always be there
This is greed to have the company
Run super thin, over work the staff
Fluff the stocks
Sell it off then walk away
With a huge paycheck
This mentality only promotes the top
Government is killing small business
Zero the incentives for starting one
People can't afford to pay rent
If it stays on this path
That damn ladder you're using
Will be split in half
And your friend, Timmy
Wont get a nickle for labor
Cause there will be millions
Waiting in line for work.
Sorry, you got me on a rant.
Giggles
No worries
Thank you for taking the Gallup Pole
Signed
Gocni Shindler
that be me
