Anarchy

Anarchy

A Poem by Sam Freeland
"

and war

"

Anarchy attracts the unwary

usually before they can read

They learned to kill to survive

killing animals for their feed

They learned that their enemies

had also learned to kill

Life was killing for survival

and humans all got their fill

With their populations expanding

they needed more food to eat

War and killing was the answer

this kind of anarchy was no treat

Today not much has changed

religion and food they still need

Killing because of religion

happens because they can't read

When religion is more about survival

the solution is more about war

Power struggles by their priests

are what the killing is really for

This struggle will go on forever

when so few people can read

This ignorance anarchy feeds on

their priests are guilty of greed

The government in the west

is about helping people to learn

War is not what people want

it has become our major concern

We need to vote with our minds

and help people who are poor

When more people can read

less anarchy will occur
