You created ‘Shareholder Value’!

Kids in the industrialized quarters,

Weaving dreams of hope,

Exposed to exploitation and greed,

Can barely cope.

Carnage a generation of its budding,

Disregard what they can become in lieu,

You exude pride instead,

Coz you created shareholder value!

Air that the living breathe,

Is full of venom and filth,

The organs that function the body,

Can feel the zilch.

Industries that barren the world,

And devour the gifts of nature,

Get the honour as contributors of future,

Coz you created shareholder value!

Rations that satiate hunger,

Has longed for an entity that nature produced,

What has been in the stock instead,

Is what the tongue has been manoeuvred to suit.

Companies that cared for the well being,

Made consumption what was never desired,

But they met demands of the hungry,

And they created shareholder value!
