We Are Them

There is only us

We all live in society

Some of us have lots of power and wealth

Most of us do not

Those with power and wealth want to keep it and get more

Power and wealth is attractive and who among us turns it down?

Few of us would

Few of us pass up opportunities to make more money or to gain more power

Are we that much different from those in power?

We are as quick to judge as we are to dismiss the powerful

We have seen the disguise of the powerful

The lies, the fall guys, the alibis

Who among us does not cover up things we do?

The powerful simply have more to cover

There is little power when truths are inconveniently revealed

So some of us have power

And some of us want to change those in power

But we do not know the powerful

We barely know ourselves

So nothing changes
