MEN-IN-SUITS
It’s the men-in-suits that call the shots
They’re the ones that shape our world …
And we, pathetic witnesses to our demise
as families, friends and communities,
Sit in silence – seduced by soporific inducements
unquestioningly praising and admiring
uncontrolled lust for wealth and power
that would suborn our very life itself
And we, fools that we are,
accept known lies as true
delighting in scandal and revelations that
bring others to their knees
Blind are we to the dangers that lie ahead
Like frogs lulled by the comfort of warm water
We are about to be boiled
Ah, yes. It’s men-in-suits that call the shots
and they are laughing all the way….
