Poetic-Verses

'' They Are More Equal Than Others ''

Democracies, Dictatorships and Communism,
are contradictions they'd have us all think,
yet as all of them head for cataclysm,
it's the poor who'll be left to sink.

As our leaders tear our economies apart,
it's time to stand up and be counted,
these idiots are determined to tear out our heart,
mass protests against you will be mounted.

We're in this together they'd have you believe,
but it's we who must follow their rules,
while they live in splendor we're left to grieve,
working  people are treated like fools.

We are taxed from birth till the day we die,
to ensure we stay under the thumb,
while they're on the take we're left to cry,
they look upon commoners as scum.

Those who preside at the top of the tree,
Politicians and fat cat millionaires,
the plight of the poor they refuse to see,
if truth be told not one of them cares.

These hierarchies dictate how we all should live,
we must struggle just to stay alive,
while their lives are based on take not give,
they leave us barely enough to survive.

We're being squeezed to death by these parasites,
who want nothing but fortune and fame,
it is us they condemn they're abusing our rights,
while their excuses are always the same.

They bring all of our countries to their knees,
through sheer incompetence and greed,
then walk away rich denying the sleaze,
their lavish lifestyles they go on to feed.

While they live their lives in prosperity,
the workers end up unemployed,
we must suffer a life of austerity,
while their lives are being enjoyed.

The fat cats claim it is never their fault,
whenever the stock markets crash,
to fix it they enter the taxpayers vault,
then they just walk away with their stash.

We're then left to pick up the pieces,
as taxes and prices all rise,
it's the workers the speculator fleeces,
by so called experts, another myth dies.

Facts are not one of them for us give a damn,
the truth a liar always smothers,
those Politicians, Despots and Presidents scam,
is,
