If knowledge gives a man the right to rule,
And if he rises from elections pool,
Victorious, with half a mind to fame,
Then he needs to join the collective aim -

- To keep things just the same - a constant drum,
Consoling slaves by giving them freedom,
Instilling ignorance to soothe the itch;
To serve, appease, protect and please the rich.

They are to blame for inequality,
Who chip and sift through Holy Scripture’s scree.
A moral flip to shame the jealous drones,
Ignoring mountains, justifies with stones.

The truth is – wealth will always write the law,
To swell the crimes committed by the poor.
