Your poem reminds me of the story ANIMAL FARM, where the animals established their own government and those in power were ultimately overthrown.
Their rules (like your poems version)were bent to suit their greed.
You have chosen sarcasm to make a statement about societys corruption, and although many agree, few will stand up to be counted.
Your write is refreshing, to the point, and unsettling in its nearness to the bullseye. Well done.
