Powers That Be

Talking to people on the other
side of the planet,
all colour and creeds from
white to Hispanic.

We all love and we all bleed
and we all
have dreams to succeed.

Yet we are divided
by different ideologies,
force fed propaganda
by various technologies.

We all have
never been so close
but the powers that be
are wary of
the threat we pose

should we all band together
and say we have had enough,
that we don’t believe
life has to be this tough.

That there is plenty
for everyone,
not just a chosen few
and the time has come
that we were paid our due.
