The haves and have nots
The haves and have nots
Behind veils they are cloaked in disguise
their voices are inaudible and secretive with lies
They cooperate in order to manipulate for gain
egotistical they feather their nests with those they have slain
Fingers are pointed at others and away from themselves
they live in fear of blame and shame like frightened elves
Single minded in their pursuit of wealth
they are the masters of accomplished stealth
We who labour incessantly to earn our bread
are the contemptuous victims of the aforesaid
Without us their empires would soon crumble
our servitude is loyal and sustains their bubble
We accept our lot which comes from their pot
yet we know we fill this pot with an awful lot
A new world order is now on offer to those who pay
sieze it soon as time is passing and there is no other way
