Fairytales and Lotteries...

Fairytales and Lotteries…

Who was it that decided we’d be the ones, without choice,
hard working people with a mouth, but no real voice.
From every type of industry, workbench, or office seat,
none of us has the right to life until the jobs complete.
 
In America and Russia, to the place of the Rising sun,
across all other countries the work must get done.
But one thing that never differs since modern time began,
people of wealth and privilege, abuse their fellow man.

They talk of social justice and all that it should entail,
but as the words leave their mouths, they act to make it fail.
Centuries of struggle written down but never heeded,
when will they ever learn, social change is needed.

We know man has many faults, some are easy to forgive,
this is one that must be checked, so all can say they’ve lived.
To deny your fellow man equality, after all we bleed the same,
is downright unforgivable, and our social justice is to blame.

Top heavy with wigged warriors of the wickedly wealthy,
they loyally keep order and say what for us is healthy.
Using their courts as squalled money collection stations,
keeping a boot at our throats in the name great nations.

People of the planet must realise, lives are the true capital,
money and wealth a mere totem manufactured as an idol.
We must step forward as one, and demand real equality,
giving all, from ghetto, or stately home, the right to be free.

Everyone is an asset and has a different strength,
we must not waste time searching for this at length.
But gathering and using our assets with creative care,
 we may find a fairytale or lottery, of which we are, unaware.
