Parable of Politics

rebellion_in_sanity

Life, a glittering casino
In an arid desert 
When one wins
Hundreds bite the dust

 

Politics, the God of life
Demands great sacrifice
Claw your way to the pedestal 
Become the high priest 
Guillotine innocent lives

 

Fairness alien to life
Only ruthless survives
Your survival never cost anything 
It was only minnows
They had no right to live

 

Power stronger than amphetamine 
Life is on a perpetual high
Crowd hang on to every word you say
Swim in the rainbow of your pride

 

Nights of torment 
Ghosts crowd your dreams 
Trying to fend them off
Trying hard not to scream 

 

Cold light of dawn
Your resolve returns
Nights are the only sacrifice you make
To busk in glory of power 
In the morning Sun

          Survival of the fittist is the rule but we prefer to break the rule with charity and generosity who is right? Thought provoking write that is powerful in its mesage.

            Perhaps, the civilization sustained because some people dared to break the rule. Deeply appreciate your comment and continued support

            Ah my favorite people ever...politicians. Indeed, power perverts, no doubt about that. Well done, my friend! 🌹👏

            As much as i dislike all politicians and forms of greed and power, i know that has ever really been achieved by sticking completely to the rules, Another enjoyable powerful read.
