Babel ( 100 days of Poetry) {Day #48}

in #poetry6 years ago (edited)

Free and mobile, how we all want to be,
travelling the seas like a human should.
This land I see before me is mechanical already.
The flesh bots programmed to obey for shillings.
Shammed if they do, dammed if they don't.

The underworld breaks the rules,
tired of living like lowly fools,
so they create their own mafia,
off the radar of the mafia of governance.
It's a slippery system with gutters ready to swallow.

Good points do exist,
the parks, the roads and the foods in loads.
But so many suffer, so many perish,
the odds against are a high prickled wall,
where the ladder is not accessible to all.

So many fall,
depressed, distracted, dead.
What is the meaning of this life?
It is hard for many to consider,
when good food becomes trash,
and so many have no dinner.

Do they really want whats best for us?
Who is atop this pyramid and what to they do?
The answer is, we have no clue.
