Society today tells us always to be appalled

At those who take direct action and say their protest is flawed,

And then we wonder why nothing ever changes

Because all attempts of getting the message across,

Is met be a torrent of angry but passive outrage

Who is fed how to think and act, which is systemic of our age,

We are controlled and made to feel ashamed of our outrage

Gagged and muzzled by how they may be perceived,

They choose to keep their masters pleased

At the cost of stopping you and me,

From showing society the way that it should be

Not a country rooted in protecting corporate greed,

But one that considers people’s need

And both needs can be serviced equally in a balanced society,

But the poor are left to starve and on their knees

While the rich continue on becoming even more wealthy,

Is this truly your vision of a decent democracy.
