The Tiller, tills his soil
He reaps what he saws
The merchant buys and sells
His good at will
The rich, gets richer
The poor stays poor.
The tax collector, collects taxes
Fleecing
The peons of what they own
The Fisherman
who feeds the village
Was made “A Fisher of Men”
The rich, gets richer
The poor stays poor.
The King, is the King
Dispensing
His justice and reigns
The Healer heals
The dying dies
The rich gets richer
The poor stays poor
Nothing has changed
It’s just A Way Of Life.

Excellent writing as always.stay safe and well..Hugssssss
This is a sad commentary on our society. I'm glad that many don't take the road to "oh, well," and try to make the world a better place. Or, at least that's what I hope.
Wow this so much to ponder about
And I trully agreed with you William
That's life!
Excellent write and message within!!

William,
Yes this is so true..time to change things, but how, where, what, and when? Not a question, just know that you are definitely not alone in this way of thinking.

It's a way of life too many of us have accepted, then choose to do nothing about, so it's no wonder man has been wandering through life from the beginning. Someone has said that nothing changes in the human condition until we choose to change.
Welcome!
The poems in this beautifully bound book are a result of over twenty years of observations. Observations of the world around us and on the telecommunications network. All of the hate, love, heroism, disasters, and those who help.
