Dumb we are

Everything based in society

Revolves around power and greed

Corruption is rife but do people see

They exploit the Earth and humanity

The tiny one percent

Who accumulate the wealth

Care very little for the Earth or our health

They are blind to the destruction they wreak

They are blind to the suffering caused to humanity

Money is power its always been that way

But its something that you can’t take to your grave

But the wealthy just care about one thing while they’re alive

Luxuriating in their ivory towers

Suckling off of the good of the land

Hoarding everything that is worthwhile and good

If you think they’ll share then you’re mistook

They reap all the benefits

While we get to live off the crumbs

To allow this to continue us shows that we must all be dumb.

  1. It all in the system,I believe. And it is really difficult to change it. But with our words and actions we are trying to. So I think we may not be that dumb after all! Great poem, buddy!🌻
