We The People
Nefarious governments
Sinister religions
Repugnant politicians
This pandemic, they’re loving it.
Pitting the poor people against each other
Billionaires making decisions
This isn’t the world that we envisioned
How did we end up in this position?
And now we’re all conditioned
To hate one another like children.
But we should be above this since
We’re humans blessed with consciousness
How about we use some common sense
To understand our common threads
To embolden us and rise up against
The evil bastards called the one percent
They need to pay the consequence
For leveraging this pestilence!
About this poem
2020 - 2021 has been a trying year, and we the common people have seen the rich get richer as we struggle. We've seen the ultra wealthy take advantage of a pandemic, and we must show them who we are.
