Playing games
Faded Empires,
Playing games
With millions of pawns.
Complex machinations
For power and wealth
In an incandescent storm.
Intrigue, threats and death,
Brinkmanship
Arrogance and scorn.
Played out across the globe,
Devoid of compassion
Greed, selfishness, care-worn.
Unseen puppet masters
Guide us through
Creating poverty and war
With paid brawn.
Inbuilt superiority,
Illusions of grandeur,
All in-born.
They play their power games
Of self-importance –
The devil’s spawn!
Opher – 13.6.2020
There is a big global game being played by powerful privileged people.
We are pawns.
Huge wealth is deployed.
They gamble with the future.
They use poverty and war as tools.
They exploit, cheat and control.
It is mega politics – beyond the politics of mere nations.
