Snakes and Ladders
There’s a game being played.
Some play by different rules,
While others are told what rules to play by.
If we dare to move
To a different tune
They create a cacophony
To drown us out.
For they have all the ladders
While we are left with snakes.
The games that I would choose to play
Have no snakes
And every square has a ladder.
But they play by different rules.

My tax is calculated to the last penny but they are free to form companies and stuff their millions off-shore tax-free.
I am subject to the law but they employ lawyers to bend the rules, find loopholes and evade justice.
I, like the vast majority, use the public services, hospitals, schools and police but they pay to jump queues, get better service and enhance their privilege.
They influence the law with lobbying, bribes, promises and sweeteners. I am subject to the law.
Privilege buys a ladder to the heights.
They think this is alright.
I think it stinks.
