To Make Themselves Look Big
They wear uniforms,
Put on crowns,
Sit on thrones,
Wear ceremonial gowns.
They wear bit hats
Put on a wig.
With many servants
To make themselves look big.
They live in mansions,
Rolex on wrists,
Play with yachts,
Hold sceptres in their fists.
Wearing gowns and ermine,
Finest wines to swig,
Dripping gold and diamonds
To make themselves look big.
Yet really
They are the same as us.
Passengers
On a planetary bus.
Opher – 29.1.2021
The kings, queens, presidents, judges, generals and wealthy, all decked up in their finery, in uniforms, with status symbols, $6000 handbags, flash cars, Armani suits, rolex’s and Italian shoes, are all playing a game.
Everything is a symbol.
Tribalism is rife.
The game is played with deadly results.
We are put in our place.
