Billionaires have the final say

It's not like you can write a letter to the editor saying what's true,
Why the billionaire owner might not like it and spike it through,
Nor it's like you could email your representative parliamentary,
'Cos you'll get the standard reply! Sign up and join the billionaire's party!

You could protest the streets at least till there's legislation enacted
Because some over invested billionaire has overreacted.
You could tweet or post but avoid the hashtag democracy,
Your billionaire's fact checker might flag your content for sensitivity.

You could flee this soon to be earth-bound hellscape,
Settle Mars, the stars or outer space but not for free
Or swim to higher ground but there's no escape,
Because the oxygen hoarding billionaires guards that key

So easy to be heard yes billionaires have the final say.
Though all else has failed we must find another way...
There must be a better billionaire freeway.
