Pearlescent Poems #36: Elites (Original Poem)

in #poetry8 years ago (edited)


When you have the power to influence with manipulation
People are instantly submissive to your negotiations
You're hard to sway and very stern about the stipulations
And nothing else matters but your business relations

You think you rule the world with money, but it's ruling you
You'll sacrifice a lot on spot, as long as it's not you
As long as you're alive and fine, no risk or worries there
Protected within your power circles, you deal out much despair

The chance to change the world for good, but destroy it with your greed
You preach of pureness, preserve your seed, and keep close to your breed
While the world has slept, and many have wept, you slave so many with debts
They drown in deep depths, with plans pre-prepped, backgrounds you've crept with your traces all swept

Every aspect of the system, you have it drained, and ball and chained
Chemicals in the tap water, and chem-trails above for inducing "Rain"

Financial schemes, militant regimes, to trafficking scenes, oh, you wealthy elites
Political reigns, medical gains, and GMO strains for slow killing ill-eats

It seems you enjoy our daily defeat...



Thank you for reading this post in its entirety. Not all elites are tyrannically selfish, but so many have led corruption and destruction, it's just a sad vicious circle of repetitive history and continuous evil. It only gets worse as technologies and capabilities increase, but there's always light at the end of the dark tunnel and we must pray for our enemies who mean us harm and ill intent. God bless
