the milking companies


The milking companies
The Mat Jenin and the forty thieves
The easy wealth through back doors
The dreams are made of it

The village folks
They believe what they are told
Receiving peanuts the eyes smile
But they lose more than they realize

The thumbing down
They don't count the numbers
The small grants they have
They think they can survive

The city folks know all along
Where the nation's wealth has gone
Into the milking companies
The Mat Jenin and the forty thieves
