One Day Longer

How long will we be here?
One day longer than the billionaires.
on these streets
(whose streets?   our streets)
one day longer
in these tents, these sleeping bags
one day longer
until there are jobs for everyone
(where are the jobs?)
one day longer
until the 1% pays what the 99% pays
one day longer
after they ignore us, after they mock us
one day longer
after they fight us
one day longer
then we win
one day longer

until the drones no longer fly, then
one day longer
we got sold out, we will last
one day longer
than banks that got bailed out
one day longer
human needs
one day longer
than corporate greed
(we are the 99%)
one day longer than the 1%
one day longer than corporate rule

veterans & grannies
one day longer
stoners & drummers
one day longer
foreclosed fathers, homeless mothers
one day longer
children dreaming in sleeping bags
one day longer than the billionaires.
