The Little People
The Little People
We the little people are now better educated,
better informed and less vulnerable to deceit.
Once upon a time we gave authority to our 'betters',
now we know that we are as good as them.
No longer are the little people going to be misled,
we can read, write and think for ourselves.
We read between the lines unlike before,
and understand what corruption really means.
The times are changing but the political elite has not,
throughout the world the little voices are being heard.
No more edited news or propaganda is believed,
the 'ancien regime' has its days numbered,
The little people will show them the door.
Genuine equality, human rights, integrity and decency are here,
step down from your lofty platforms as your time is running out.
The little people have arrived in town
and the rubicon has been crossed.
Standby for the new dawn,
when we no longer 'cut the lawn'.

Thank you to all who both commented and liked this poem. I appreciated your interest as it encourages me to write more. Uilleam the title of the poem is 'The Little People' not the 'Little Minds' that read Der Heil a well known National Socialist Daily Rag. MC., perhaps you would have us return to being governed by the psuedo aristocracy of the past. The poem strongly suggests that we live in an age when the majority of the populace is reasonably well educated and able to make up their minds and no longer be misguided as has been the case in recent years. The present calibre of our politicians, irrespective of party, is at best mediocre and that is me being kind.
Thank you all again,
Keith
