Greed

Endless cries

from the crowd

Do you hear us?

They’re not

listening

Politicians grandstand

ignoring the pleas

Protests bathe

within a blood soaked

Christening

We are gathered

tentatively together

Trying not to be

misunderstood

In this hour

of need

But nothing

will change

Except the hand that

holds the money

In this world of

political & corporate

greed
