Our Power

Oh, how the almighty have fallen
because they have sadly forgotten
that the higher the tower,
that insatiable desire for power;
the more unstable it becomes,
to humble forces it succumbs
to as their parasitic greed
proves impossible to feed.
Their ego is in need
of a constant boost
everything in terms of win or lose
with their status & position of dominance at stake
they do whatever it takes,
crushing anyone getting in their way,
to come out on top, to “win” the game.
Anything to save face...
What a disgrace.
These rulers of patriarchy
manipulating society
with capitalism they oppress
the people they repress
to states of slumber
viewing them as numbers
on a digital screen
cogs in a machine;
just a group of dollar signs...
 
but little do they realize
that there’s life bursting from inside
our bodies, hearts, & minds!
The truth we’ve begun to recognize,
no longer held down by their lies
that we too are part of the game
destined to fail yet they choose to play.
Cause out here where the people reside,
there’s no amount of money large enough to hide
the suffering audible from wounded cries
and visible from all the pain-filled eyes
sick & tired from having to constantly fight
for right after right,
just to survive.
But here is where the warriors thrive!
Giving of themselves, restoring hope;
we don’t have to suffer alone.
Here is where humanity is found!
Embracing diversity, finding common ground.
Compassion & kindness are held as values
complimented by empathetic attitudes.
No one claims to be perfect;
we are all going through this.
And as they play their twisted game,
we realize we are one and the same.
It’s in uniting ourselves that we find strength
to continue on transforming our pain
into a passion more powerful than greed,
promoting justice & striving for peace.
The confused will oppress until they “win,”
we’ll just smile back with genuine grins
for no matter how much they push & shove,
the game of taking is lacking in love.
It’s love that we have an abundance of.
