If I Was Poor (A Letter Written by a Billionaire)

If I was poor I would rob my exploiters. If I was poor I would steal from those who rob humanity blind. If I was poor, I would probably become a revolutionary, a gangster, a thief who wants to steal his life back. If I was poor I would want to steal my soul back from the...
 control of the system. If I was poor, I would form a group of poor people and crush the system that impoverishes humanity.
If I was poor, believe you me, I would not sit at home watching the television stations  owned by those who keep me poor. If I was poor, I would not sit around, collecting crumbs while my children are indebted by the system. If I was poor, I would get myself a blank book and write the Revolutionary Manifesto of the Poor.
Fuck yah! If I was poor I would steal bread, I would steal food, I would steal my life back from those who thrive from crushing the lives of others.
If I was poor, I would not lie submissively waiting for the billionaires to become humane, I would seize the means of production. If I was poor, I would form a gang of poor people and take control of the streets. If I was poor, I would spend every ounce of energy showing other poor people how to rise above their inner and outer poverty.
Unfortunately for you poor scum, it is I, that writes the laws. Unfortunately for you starving children, it is the club of billionaires that change and modify the laws to suit their needs.
There was a protest in my city, I called the idiotic mayor and told him to put curfew rules into places, the law is my friend. The law is your enemy, the law is the enemy of those with no power. The law is a reflection of the appetites and needs of the powerful.
I am the law, you are the slave of the law. I am the lawyers, you are the ones arrested and brutalized because of your skin shades. I am the law, you are the poor citizens who cannot even afford a lawyer.
