On The Downside Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

The arguments between those elite,
Are increasingly seen to be amongst themselves.
To keep enriched with a proving of it.

And if the interests of the people is claimed to be 100%?
Where is this heard by those people they wish to believe,
A focus is there and clearly represented?

And who do the elite believe are kept fooled?
Those left fighting to survive,
To maintain a quality of life on the downside and undenied?
