My Slice

I always dream of something more
than what I had the day before
it’s not that I don’t have enough
before you go and call my bluff

it’s just I see a world of pain
power and the dollar reigns
want my slice I won’t deny
but who can eat the entire pie

and look on as the dogs get crumbs
because they couldn’t do their sums
the biggest lie we’re born equal
some will never leave the foetal

but now I have a little slice
I also have the knife to splice
brothers sisters into two
or at the least their daily food
