The rule of the corrupt is
everywhere you look
The Houses of Power appear to
have many crooks
The peoples’ taxes are used
to bail out the moneyed class
There are no bailouts for the
ordinary people: they are bypassed
Multi-national corporations
get sweetheart deals
They can commit crimes if
that’s how they feel
Bribery and corruption is
protected under the “law”
And legislation is passed to
protect these scofflaws
The armies of governments are
used as hit men
They bomb and kill in other
countries again and again
War criminals in power get
away with their depredations
And millions of victims are
dead in many invaded nations
“Rule of law,” are words that
emanate from political mouths
These are some of the people
that voted for illegal wars: without a doubt
Libya is one country that they bombed illegally from the
sky
And thousands of people are
dead, and nobody investigates why
Other countries were also
bombed and laid waste
By these well dressed
villains of the human race
If there was a real “rule of
law” and justice too
These blood soaked bandits
would be on trial for what they do
A “justice committee” is set
up to look at government “scandals”
And turns out to be a farce,
attended by political vandals
Accusing each other of
subverting “ethics” and “democracy”
While many of their past and
present cohorts, forte, is hypocrisy
The peoples’ tax dollars are
used and abused by political controllers
That are protected and
cosseted like “respectable” shysters
The abuses they have
committed in the name of “democracy”
While perpetrating illegal
wars, is their diabolical legacy
The people are prisoners of a
system, they’re conditioned to accept
Taxed, and taxed, and propagandized,
and taxed again to death
One wonders, and wonders will
the people ever say: ‘Enough”?
And will they continue to be
docile under: The Rule of the Corrupt?
