Seats of Power
Castles and cathedrals.
It was once so clear where the power lay.
Ramparts and spires
Reaching up to the heavens.
Kings and Bishops
Rules over lands and congregations
Deploying threats and weapons.
Now the banks are the fortresses
Whose facades
Seek to impress and intimidate,
Whose vaults hold power.
As people and nations
Place their faith in the mighty dollar
Influence and corruption rule
As bankers preside
From their new ivory towers.
Opher – 17.8.2020
Very good Opher…two sides of the same coin: domination by denomination.

A nice turn of phrase, play on words Dewin. There’s a name for it.
