Poetry – Down The Ages

Down The Ages

Down the ages,

                A battle for power,

                                Church and state.

Threats,

                Promises

                                And propaganda.

Caught in the middle,

                Manipulated,

                                Controlled,

                                                Exploited –

US.

Just imagine if a fraction of all the wealth appropriated by the state and religion was divvied out to the people?

Everyone could live a life of quality.

Throughout the ages the greedy, power-mad elite in church and state, in a lust for even more, have robbed the poor and created war after war.

These people were supposed to have our interests at the centre of everything they did.

Their selfishness and greed shines through history leaving misery and destruction in their wake.

Same today – nothing changes.
