They always get away with it
They always get away
Leaving the others
To pick up the tab.
They organise and plan
But leave others
To do the dirty work.
They work in governments
In cosy offices
Behind closed doors.
They decide who is the enemy
And tell us the people
Who we are to despise.
They bomb the innocent
In the quest for victory –
Collateral damage.
When the dust has settled
And the blame is laid
They plan the next job.
Opher – 3.2.2019
The people who end up in front of the courts are rarely the true villains. The people who decide policy and carry out the planning are invisible. They quietly work in offices.
They wriggle off the hook while others get the blame.
