They are killing us off- A Poem

May 22, 2026
Marge Piercy
 
Strip families of SNAP funds.
Tariffs make food expensive.
Can only afford fast food:
gut cancer at thirty.
 
Cull the herd, our new
national program. Get
rid of our hungry mouths.
AI will replace us all.
 
Do you imagine it’s
accidental we have a mad
man in charge of health?
Measles, COVID do the job.
 
Pollute inner cities. That
should rid the white rich
of those they no longer
need. Build fancy housing.
 
Have the military bomb
fishing boats: good prep
for killing citizens soon
enough in blue cities.
 
Once there were good jobs
for workers. Overseas
or AI now. The rich spoil
everything for more riches.
 
We have become utterly
expendable to those who
count and they don’t
bother counting us.
