Life vs Wall St.

I recognise the look in the eyes

On every raging face

In every war-torn place

On every side

Of all debates…

The anguish, the frustration, the realisation

Of the futility of voice

In un-democracy, in un-natural, in beyond-believable ..systems of state

We have no bullets screaming down the A583

But don’t doubt they would be… if they could be just like some have come to be

Places where each citizen is of no worth

Where raising concern,

Gets you jailed or worse.

Here we’re witnessing the dismantling,

The unveiling, exposing, revealing 

Of the truth of what pulls the levers of government

The ugly beating heart of a chameleon gone wrong

Merged and mingled pretending to be friend

Deeper though than skin deep was the true intent

We're just the consumers, receptors, breeders and actors

In a game based round investors, industry, gambling and greed

Not one where a child’s needs… could ever compete

With Wall Street.
