"Oh it's always been that way"
That's what the wealthy people say
To quell the rising of the poor
And keep the anger from their door.
"Dont cause a raucous,
You're blind, just trust us.
We've got your best interest in mind.
Dont yell and fight
For you've no right
To the resources we've left behind."
"Do not mind our prejudice,
For we’re not the terrorists!
We just want you to comply.
And Overlook the tear gas in your eye."
Children cry behind steel cages
While an ancient war still rages.
Men who think they are entitled
And provide their bigotry unbridled
"Dont be who you are at all
Unless you align with where we fall"
That's the voice of villainy.
It lacks the air of sympathy
And forces on us Tyranny
So if we dont disrupt the game
That suits their every will and aim
To rule the world against our will,
We might as well lie forever still.
About the Creator
Arthur Armstrong
A being of duality, poetic irreverence, and maddening nonsense.
