Why do we allow the worst to lead

When there are so many better ones that I can see,

Why do we let them get away with so much

When you know the rest of us would have such luck,

The prisons are filled but not with the rich

Or many politicians who get the itch,

For claiming expenses or abusing kids

One rule for them another for us is sick,

And how many more religious types

Can get away with treating kids as they like,

Committing crimes against them in the name of God,

Surely if they don’t go to hell then we are all lost,

And why do corporations pay their bosses so much

For doing very little while the workers are stuck in a rut,

Producing the wealth on minimum wage

And the banks and traders also get paid,

For gambling with our money and when it is lost

Do you think that they give a toss,

And then hit us with charges and raise the costs

By increasing the interest rates so their bonuses are lost,

It seems to me this is a money making society

But one that benefits them and not us you see,

Is it not about time we demanded something different

Like jailing the corrupt and the abusers who are part of the elites,

And don’t you also think if they want more wars,

They should be forced to go to the frontline and fight for the cause.
