Occupation

There is all this talk

Of occupying Wall Street

And taking over the nation

Everyone is occupying

Whose streets? Our streets

Everyone is sitting in squares

or standing on stairs

Everyone has a big sign

or a loud megaphone

Everyone chants and screams

or bangs on thunderous drums

Some sit at oak desks

or stand on the trading floor

Some have good paying jobs

or are filthy and dirt poor

Some are young without health insurance

or old with bankrupt Medicare

Some are from far far away

or just around the corner bar

There is all this talk

Of occupation

Occupy this and occupy that

Occupy city, state, and the nation

Police state, people state

Out of state, in state

Counter-state, Fail-state

This is an out of control debate!

There is all this talk

Of occupying Wall Street

And taking over the nation

But all I really want

Is to occupy your heart
