Third Horseman

The wealth that "first world" nations take for granted is made possible only through the exploitation of poor underpaid workers in less developed countries..

————

My alter ego is Injustice

Come meet my strong black horse

His other name is Famine

I am the third horseman of course

I ride between the rich and poor

On roads of good golden intentions

Paved with dead cheap labourers

Who lived to serve powered inventions

I ride with laden transport trucks

That bring to you cheap goods and produce

Made by folks who can't afford the stuff

Who survive on canned beans and stews

I ride behind fast low luxury cars

That bring you between your lavish homes

Fueled by oil and the dead men's toil

Castles built as if by third-world gnomes

My other name's Injustice

The third horseman of apocalypse

I ride between the rich and poor

On the dark backside of Eclipse...
