We the Serfs

     We the People

     We the masses

     We the Serfs

     of the lower classes

chained to our cars

by government deed

pumped by the taxes

of government greed

     We the People

     We the masses

     We the serfs

     of the lower classes

crippled in our voices

by government power

fixed in our choices

the People devoured

     We the People

     We the masses

     We the serfs

     of the lower classes

constrained to watch

our wages taken

destined for the empire

of our nation's making

This is an excellent write. Repeating the We the People stanza adds more power to your poem. Maybe, that is the only way that the serfs will stand out.

Good work. "destined for the empire" a concept which may seem like over reaching today, but will probably become common use, sadly. Henry

Absolute write, J. I have always wondered what government does with all the money that comes their way. Yet, hunger, poverty, sickness, cheating are found every corner you turn. It is so sad, my brother.

Excellently written. I love the simplicity of this one. Everyone will understand what you have written. God will help us.
