Injustice In Politics Poem by Terence George Craddock (Spectral Images and Images Of Light)

white collar crime is
immoral an injustice
that many countries

have corrupted allowed
to breed multiply infest
their codes legal systems

bedrock middle working classes
should both teach their children
honour pride dignity of honest

workers is never for sale;
politicians are servants
of the people the nation

their goal in politics
cannot be to amass
wealth for themselves

at the cost of a nations
pride causing poverty
for our fellow citizens;

God said the master
to the slave is equal
politicians today need

to remember history
previous past generations
humane great leaders

who worked
not for themselves
who worked

for the good
of their nation
their people;

who believed in
peace at home
peace in the world

if we continue
to allow disease
white collar crime

to amass millions
billions illegally
for putrid debased

individuals never tried
for heinous greed crimes
upon society perpetrated;

then how can
our nations prosper
when the fat

of the land
is stolen
not shared

people need hope
belief in equal justice
in their nations laws;

people are not
animals they need
a little appreciation

the odd luxury
for themselves
their children

left with nothing
but bare bones
lean nasty blamed

for their own
unemployment
misery poverty;

risks not just
broken lives
but a cold hard

mean day
of accounting
rage vented

a little compassion
goes a long way
justice equality for all

solves many problems
before they crisis arise
time world governments

address the real issues
