Who Are We…?

CFP Poetry Online


We are the financial criminals “too big to fail” We run the system: You can’t put us in jail We are the food speculators in the commodities of nations We make huge profits off hunger and starvation

We are the war makers and corporate warriors who never fight We let others battle and die, while we hide out of sight We are the profiteers and politicians of bloody death and destruction We send your sons and daughters to war and give them instructions We are the corporate cannibals of capitalism and communism We are all in bed together in a money making heaven We are the “market makers” and “free enterprise” entrepreneurs We get bailed out by taxpayers, and some cynics call us bloodsucking # We are the leaders of the “international community” We have been called war criminals, but we have immunity We sell weapons to dictators, despots and to both sides in wars We have no morals, ethics, decency or principles. But hey we profit off the gore We kill children with drones and missiles in poor countries We are the armchair assassins who press the deadly buttons We work 9 to 5 in comfortable computer surroundings We watch the killings and peoples homes taking a pounding We are the elites who rule over and tax the obedient Serfs We are the “eminent and honorable persons” who create hell on earth We are the financial elite who control the money system We are the ones who consort with dictators and bloody communism Now you know who we are and what we really do Does this information make you happy, or perhaps you already knew? Anyway have a nice and pleasant day, while you are still “free” Because the time is coming when you will ask: What happened and who are we? Stephen J. Gray
