Jack our hero

Jack our hero
Jack is likely our ideal hero,
Working on the land, sweat on his brow;
work rewarded with close to zero,
head puzzling on just simply how,

how to achieve that golden prize
and to snatch from the greedy giant;
how odd it is and such surprise
this fairy tale makes me defiant.

what I learned as a child in story
holds so dear to my heart and eyes;
for in the news I see no glory,
Now I see our trust in demise,

Constant despair and monstrous greed
as if greed turned them into monster;
giants of glut and rare to concede
their gold for the starving-mobsters.

At times like this, reading of the world view,
pain and greed, I wish the tale of Jack was true
