What do you think this poem is about?

Disturbing the Peace

Executives of multi-billion dollar oil

and/or wall street organizations, send a multitude to boil,

in the hopes to defeat a propaganda-driven foe to foil;

they have plenty more possible antagonists to tame,

but those overseas enemies have become to blame,

yet simultaneously, they are friends of the very same

elite. Viral spreading terrorist threats and chaos, coil

in daunting fear via telecommunications in hopes to toil

the populations national security and safety buried under soil.

Ultimately, the governing superpowers - spearheading

global empires - heads of state are warmongering

greedily collecting money ignoring their people dying

on the home front and globally.

Sitting on-top-of-the-world all high and mighty

Upon their golden thrones, while grandly

well-concealing plentiful of incriminating

closet-kept bones; playing games, risk-taking

choices turn for the worst due to poor decision-making

all this torment for the always precious Black Gold.
