Tribal warfare
seems so out of fashion,
when on can nuke
one's neighbours on a whim,
I see no need for
patriotic passion,
or poison apples
hanging from a limb.
So since you have
your trillion, why be greedy?
for once I wish
you'd close the store at night,
and walk the
streets in search of people needy,
you wronged the
past, now make the future right!
You watch the world
from pristine penthouse windows,
I ask that you look
down upon the meek,
as they stand their
in dole queues, dusty windrows,
yet self-respect
would gain them what they seek.
It's guilty - yes,
you are! You take no action!
As children die and
summer heat waves stalls,
I realize you heed
no bleeding faction
your name is legend
in the Hero's Halls.
But cop my spit,
you bastard, feel it burning,
contempt for you
will lift me to new height,
I'll write and they
will read and keep on learning,
until the day they
rise to put things right.
So spare me droll
excuses, you star fucker,
as you have
everything, yet crave for more,
but when you stand
at Peter's Gate don't pucker,
no kisses wait in
Heaven for a whore.
