Sink Hole Poem by Matthew Holloway

Sink hole
~
I watch society draining away
as though someone just pulled the plug
as we are all in the same sink hole
watching the world about us seep away
slowly day by day as though unavoidable
then I see some watching down
the rich the corrupt government types
widening the gap, that chasm between classes
making sure there is little or no opportunity
to improve to grow and become something
business buy, governments and power
and power corrupts the soulless
money always goes to money
and those cries, those pleas, those shouts
are all just washed away
down the sink hole
with the dirty dish water
