the hour is late
the twentieth century has died
the memory of two global
world wars still lingers
warns danger to human psyche
corporate mammon has spread tentacles
into all countries societies cultures religions
on planet earth to enslave to exploit human decency
to feast upon living flesh of ignored poverty
capitalized to suck out life blood a last
breath in third world countries
where law has been eroded in claimed
mask CIA backed dictatorships
the truth is untouchable extreme wealth power
makes the rules rolls the dice on fate of countries
the poor are not developing they are emasculated
dying their graves might be dug up
if desired minerals resources were discovered
in regions where neglected starved
humanity died gave up the ghost
there is no need to fight world wars
Germany lost two world wars
political power in Europe
Modern European politics is
dominated by the European Union
some critics historians
even people politicians
claim Germany rules
dominates the European Union
the truth is international unions
organizations treaties alliances
decide world politics
there may be infamous
elite wealth families
who pull puppet strings
from secret places
behind closed doors?
Joe Public never hears
never reasons decisions knows
true power invisible untouchable grows
