Promises of cuts, austerity and gloomy downlands! (What happened to all the sunny uplands we were promised? £350 million a week to the NHS?? Brexit dividends?? Oven Ready deals?? Levelling up?? – it was all bollocks wasn’t it??)
Don’t forget to doff your caps!!
Outside the law
Bribing, threatening, exploiting and more;
Accumulating vast fortunes;
What do they want it for?
Death, destruction, misery and gore;
Left in their wake
As they stride out the door.
The global elite are cleaning up
Making a killing
And filling their cup.
Meet the global elite;
The mafia of our day.
Who’ll strip the world bare
And be on their way.
They don’t have rules.
They do as they please.
Creating wars
So they can live at ease.
The global elite.
The scum of the earth.
Everything has a price
Never what’s it’s worth.
Forests and creatures
Are commodities to abuse.
They gamble with lives
And they never lose.
The global elite –
Those with the wealth and power.
Flouting the rules
And getting richer by the hour.
Using the media
To brainwash the sheep
To support the system
That keeps them all beat.
Every day the gap
Grows so much more
As millions starve
As they foster the poor.
Time to unite;
To address this inequality.
They do not care
And have no morality.

It seems to me that the whole world is run by the wealthy and powerful for the wealthy and powerful. They accumulate more than they can ever possibly need and it is never enough.
They run their multinationals for profit without a thought for the people they exploit or the world they are trashing. Money talks.
They destroy forests, enslave people and cause wars. They bribe and threaten governments.
They avoid taxation and use every means possible to avoid contributing to the societies they spring from.
Something needs doing about them.
