Keep them in fear
That's always best for them.
Find something new
that will really test 'em.
*
Keep them all occupied
with things that are bad,
while we get filthy rich
from thier tears and hard graft.
*
Keep all the gold
locked away in our vaults,
then tell them we're broke
while we beg them for votes.
*
Keep them divided
by dripping out lies.
When these fools are distracted
they won't see our crimes
*
We are the keepers
and you're just the bees.
So keep feeding us honey,
then bow to our king!

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"

Nice Simon Aylward
Gosh, this is soooo true! Loved your poem. There's a small typo in this line: "from thier tears and hard graft."
