STATE OF AFFAIRS

Barbara R. Lockwood

 

An unhappy state of affairs

Have been born in the past fifty years

Who is to blame, are we all?

Or is this our politicians call?

I fear the latter to blame

We are nothing but pawns in this game

Even treated as unintelligent slaves

Until needed to fight and be brave

Made to pay our way without any say

On Democracy for all, and Capitalism to fall

If only to close that gap

Allowing populations a map

To build, grow and live in peace

With their own religious beliefs

'To each  his own' in the words of a song

Leave populations where they belong

I could go on more

However, I'd become a bore,

I'm sure these points are just

In a world lacking trust.
