A WORLD…

a world

A World...


Living in a world
that is set to change,
where money and power
make the rules
to the game.

A world stained with greed
too much is not enough.
Stuffing their coffers,
with emptiness --
in their heart.

Utterly stating
what they know
to be false --
laughing in silence,
twisting their words.

Protecting their future
no matter the cost.
Dishing out --
deception,
living in the past.

Playing to win
not for the whole.
Lying and deceiving
putting on --
such a show.

Provoked by ignorance
gambling with your blood.
Denying the dignity
you received --
from above.

Lustful corruption
seeps from their pores.
Deciding the fates
of those --
unfortunate souls.

Willfully gambling
with lives they don't own.
Depriving them justice
the truth --
that they've earned.

Dishonest and fraudulent
playing to the crowd.
Spinning the,
facts --
sinning out loud.

Smashing to pieces
all things you
hold dear.
Quietly gloating --
disguising their fear.

A world that exists
just for some
and not...
Is a world that
should not.., exist all.

I sometimes have these same thoughts although in the past few days, an irrational hopefulness risen within me.

Great work.
Love this poem - it speaks worlds!
