Citizen Fish

Invisible people with invisible hands/holding very obvious collection cans/
anonymous people with anonymous jobs/hurry past for fear of being late for
the boss/both will say it's not the way I intended to be/knowing that the
other guy has all he could need/the homeless have got all the time and all
of it to share/the workers have got all the cash and none of it to spare/
invisible people with invisible feet/taxi cab potential
knowing every street/
anonymous people with anonymous cars/rolling up the
winddows as they drive on
past/if these wree all your relatives then which one
would you feed?/would the
power you get from money dissappear if it was free?
/isn't it therefore obvious
that in this society/there's poverty and hunger due
to other people's greed/
invisible people from invisible homes/lost the job
their rent went up out on
their own/anonymous people with anonymous lives/reliant
on superiors to keep
them alive/cos when it comes right down to it the structure is the same/
control requires acceptance that you have to play the
game/the power of money
trickles down decreasing as it goes/and out there in
the rain it would be used
on food and clothes/but social guilt the barrier to
giving what is gained/to
those who have less of it,
cuts the last link in the chain/invisibility comes
from being constantly in view/ignorance is the passive stance of saying it
can't be true/reality shapes itself around perceptions of the self/until we
really need it we refuse to offer help/the state that creats homelessness
thrives on this attitude/until we smash these limitations and take a wider
view
