They AreA Poem by Beth LindsayThere is us who struggle and those who take advantage.They step on us and force us to stay Till we're of no use then throw us away They pay off the so called heroes So our chances of surviving is zero They pretend to care for the poor and hungry But their only objective is money They care not if you beg at their feet It will the bottom of their boot you will meet They smile like a Venus fly trap Lure us all in then snap! They are con artists with a pass Allowed to steal by the mass They are as greedy as man can be Feeding on others tears of envy They show authority through their Destroying lives that cross their path They are liars, they are thieves With as much use as a infestation of fleas Though we continue to let them reign Which is why we should be considered insane© 2015 Beth LindsayAuthor's Note
