The Second Gilded Age

Like Robber Barons of yesteryear
Silicon Sultans prevail

Gaslit by the gig economy
Nothing left but inequality
Hang onto that insecure thread
Work Precariats! Until you’re dead

In the broligarchy of crony capitalism
We widen the social schism

Rapaciously robbing from the poor
Retirement? No more

Thank you, Sammi!
