Is Capitalism a Disease?

Communities sick from hunger,
Sick from pollution,
Sick from dirty water,
Sick from overwork and stress,
Sick from junk food in shiny plastic packages.
And there are bill board advertisements,
And there are 25 choices of toothpaste,
And there are police to protect private property,
But no food, no doctor, no medicine.
Is capitalism a disease?

~ Aiyanas Ormond

Yes, it's a disease and we need lots of contemporary poems on how to cure this disease in our lifetime!
