The Downtrodden. Poem by Sandra Feldman

The Downtrodden.

Rating: 5.0


How very EVIL
They really are!
Those that pretend
To care,
For the poor, destitute
And helpless,
While they are
Carefully and secretly
Using, Them
For their nefarious
Vile and sinful
Political activities,
To gain more power
And never let anyone
Free of their domination
In a totally absorbent
And disgusting,
Perfidious way!

I totally agree with Sandra. I dislike TV preachers always asking for money

Yes, there are so many people that I have seen and dealt with that are full of pretensions, political chameleons that take advantage of the marginalized sector of society. But, there will be a time, in God's own time these evil will pay back what they got from the people.

Very well put. That's what politicians do! You have nailed it! Exploitation is very common. Thanks for highlighting this fact! Full marks!

Part 2. The poem shoots like an arrow at the ills of the society and politics. Hits straight at the target powerfully. Great!

Exploitation of the poor and the powerless mass is rampant across the world. In the democracies like India, they are treated as vote-bank. The unscrupulous politicians find benefits in retaining them poorest.

A powerful and incisive write. A wake up call to those people who might be used or manipulated by these evils. Let us be vigilant.
