Levelling up

TeddyFlyer

The ruling class are very good
at politics and greed.
They harvest from the ripened crop,
but never plant the seed. 

 

They left our country so divided 
by all the lies they told
With promises of a better life, 
setting young against the old.

 

If money is just made up
as something to make a trade 
Why are so many without a home
providing roof and shade

 

There’s money in the coffers
when they want to buy a boat
Or somewhere for the ducks to go
around a stately moat

 

But solving fundamentals 
of somewhere we all can live
Excuses are forthcoming
Sorry, no money I can give.

    That's what happens when the people in power and more concerned with staying in power than using it.

    Politicians are the same world over. Politics has become a very vibrant economy so to say.

    I love your poem. Very rhythmic. Flows well.

    thanks for sharing
    such an intriguing read..
    (when we conceive and appreciate
    the rotten pit of decay
    and inhumanely aggressive, regression
    to bottomless pitfalls of self-degradation, that
    Politics
    is, and will continue
    to be: by Design
    as forewarned by everyone
    from Plato
    to Virginia Woolfe
    we may, begin
    to look
    to ourselves
    and those by our side
    for a tangible, path
    to progression
    in our lives, not only
    up
    with hands, stretched out
    and decrying, or futile
    Why's?!)
    below, a link to an interesting piece by the aforementioned
    Virgina Woolfe:
