Enemies Of The People Poem by kelvin karani

There is a confused consensus
In our wide wild world
As poor persecuted people profess
Rich and or politicians are their enemies
But whoever convinced them so lied

The police and the armed forces are
Enemy of the people number one
Might is right they believe
So they bludgeon sense into the populace
With clubs, bows, boots and guns

Foolish they are if you ask me
For they beat but their own
Brainwashed nitwits they are
Harming and killing their kins and friends
The very people who in taxes their salaries pay
Shame on them! Jah whip them!

They have lost sight of reality
Great they are in their wonderland
Out of your confusion in illusion cocoons
Of greatness and hear the people cry
Its they you should protect
You have betrayed your own; but why,

The elite are in slot two
Educated and political matters not
Reaping where they never sowed
Cowards holding to consol
Their own motherlands; the lands which
Provided for their education and all






Position three give to the rich
Who oppress without boundaries
Keeping even that which they need not
And adding even more through theft
And their detached generosity
Not for giving sake as they lie to us
But for a nice nest up there; this charity!

Humbly the church, mosques and all
The religion (even atheism) , take position four
Fence sitters they pretend to be
Promising great things in the world beyond
Our present miseries seem to guarantee
In explicable joy in the world to come

The sad thing is
Their clinical detached interest is not
The only thing their perfection permits them
They side with the rich; condemns them not
Look beyond your nose to see this
If you cannot, just fine tune your small faculty

And even more sadly
Position fire is our own
Proudly poor we proclaim to be
Such stupidity!
Convinced we are that nothing will change

Wake up the wretched of the earth
And take that which is rightly yours
Leaving to others that which rightly is theirs
To each according to his mind
To each according to his will!
