This freestyle rap calls for revolution. This music expresses poverty and political issues that go hand in (or -with- I don't know idioms-but something like that) hand with Marx's revolution plan.

I agree with the rapper about these corportations going into Latin American countries and pushing people into poverty. These companies came in and took over the farms and caused a lot of small farmers to go out of business. Then these farmers are forced to move to find work. They find work at these factoies that American companies built in Mexico along the borders so they can take advantage of cheap labor. They pay these people less than a dollar a day to build our flat screen tvs. It is the idea of Manifest Destiny that makes these people in control feel like it is their God given right to take control of everything.

a poetically expressed observation and simple solution:
Piggies, The Beatles
Have you seen the little piggies
Crawling in the dirt
And for all the little piggies
Life is getting worse
Always having dirt to play around in.
Have you seen the bigger piggies
In their starched white shirts
You will find the bigger piggies
Stirring up the dirt
Always have clean shirts to play around in.
In their sties with all their backing
They don't care what goes on around
In their eyes there's something lacking
What they need's a damn good whacking.
Everywhere there's lots of piggies
Living piggy lives
You can see them out for dinner
With their piggy wives
Clutching forks and knives to eat their bacon.
