The state of things... (Free verse) by hobojo
Greed
Leads to
Manipulation
We see it in the marketplace
We can trace it through policy
We vote for morals
We get something else
Why do we allow a system
To rule
When we don't understand it
Some of us trust it
But we all know its corrupt
We are blinded by our toys
Others are complacent
Enough of us can change it
But we don't
Some of us can lead
But we don't
It will take something tragic
To awaken the needed force
It will take more than I have alone
It will require sacrifice
Most are not willing
