The System 2009 Poem by James Casey

The System 2009

This whole system is so flawed and fake
Some are allowed to have and eat cake

Hardly anyone goes by a set of ground rules
Making me feel like I'm the king of fools

Are we the only ones left abidin the law?
Are we are the biggest morons I ever saw.

However there are the few holding the power
Lording it over us, sitting in their ivory tower

They try to control us like wooden puppets.
Hey, people realize it, we are not the Muppets!

We do have brains, which some of us, in fact, use.
So thoughts of us not knowing don't you dare accuse,

All of us that stand here before your very eyes.
We are not stupid so stop telling us anymore lies

History will repeat itself if you don't cease
We are all fed up with palms getting grease

The higher you climb the deeper you'll fall
Consider that saying when you answer the call

To represent all of us that you deem beholdin
Tell all your friends, the keys we're a holdin

Keep in mind it was we who gave you the right
And can take it back, are you ready to fight
